Vandal Stakes $150k 2yo Ontario Foaled 6f
This may be the first, and last, time you will catch me putting out info at this north of the border clip-joint track. But this race has major upset written all over it. Here's why:
#7 EVERYDAY DAVE, 5/2, WW owned and trained. As with most WW 2yo, started early in April at Keeneland and won going 4 1/2. Thereafter, ships to Europe and wins on the French turf going 5 f. Then ships across the channel to Ascot and gets thumped going 5f against GB Grade II company. Now ships back to WB and tries to regain speedy form stretching out to 6f. This is a hell of alot to ask from a baby, and IMO this one is already headed down the WW road to being done! There should be others in here who will challenge early and this heavy fav should throw in the towell about the 1/8 pole and watch the followin come flying by on the funky WB synthetic surface. IMO, and many others, this one is a complete throw-out.
#1 BEHEMOTH, 8-1
Started his career on Bel dirt and was closing well going short. TAP wanted to see him on turf in next, but rain brought it off-turf but he came charging home in the mud to make it look easy. Now he gets that funky WB synthetic and this should spell BINGO. Long-legged son of Giant's Causeway has high action and is made to order for this type of surface. I do not have the time to go into detail on Edgar Prado's problems of late, but suffice to say that this is his chance to get back in with TAP.
#5 MAKING AMENDS, 3-1
The one to beat making his 2nd start. Patrick Husbands chooses this one over others, and this Mark Casse trained speedster should inherit the lead at the top of the stretch and try to hold on. Not easy to do on WB surface.
#8 BUONGIORNO JOHNNY, 8-1
Failed to hold on in first vs cheaper but 2nd out improvement is expected and even in defeat, this one posted very good late pace figures.
Exacta Box 1---5---8
GOOD LUCK!
