Race 3

#6 Soul City Slew (6/1 ml)

This horse loves the downhill turf course, and would probably be 2-for-2 in such races except that he got wiped out by a horse to his inside who bolted while crossing the dirt. He was forced to the outer rail and lost all chande, but gatheredhimself and came runing again to take a clear third behind two inside horses whe weren't affected by the incident. Prior to that, he had scored a hugely impressive win in near track-record time. Just loves this course, and should run huge here.

Race 7

#8 Stage Sensation (6/1 ml)

This filly ran huge in her debut, making a sharp inside move around the turn to challenge the loose frontrunner Czechers along the rail thru a pretty fierce stretch battle. I think she was a little intiniadted whle in tight quarters, and i also believe she was bumped. She got run down for second very late by PSU Grad, who returned to win the Barrett's Debutante by 4 lengths in her next start. Gets a mnuch better post draw here (she drew the rail last time), and continues to train strongly. Should run big.


HRT record:

33 for 114 (29%)

$303.10 mutuels ($9.18 avg)

    Both horses ran well below expectations, with no apparent excuse.
