Without HDG and BL in here, this is wide open. I'm taking a flyer with #4 PROTESTING, 6-1
Shug finally quit screwing around in last and put this Phipps homie back on dirt. The result was a runaway winner in a time which is good enough to win this one. One work since was under restraint, but she was full of run. The 1 1/4 distance is well within her range. The #3, Patchattack, is a major player if she takes to dirt, which she did in tall fashion in Europe before trying the turf and Arlington poly upon arrival in USA. TAP has serious concerns about Flay's Super Expresso getting this demanding distance, and Wolfson feels the same on the ml fav #2, Ask The Moon, especially after she drifted out in last at shorter distance. Hobby thinks that #6 Tiz Miz Sue will run evenly and has a real shot to place well in here if the fav's back up late.
#4 wps
4---2/3/6 exotics
In the Forego, race 9, do not discount #7 Aikenite. He is as good as ever and been pointed for this race since last spring. Pay no attention to his works, he is a lazy fart in the mornings but when race day comes he is all business! I am using him in exotic key in all four (4) spots with the 1/2/4.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Comments
TAP made some comments to the media about Aikenite being placed closer today, but I can assure you that is not the case. Aikenite is a horse who has a mind of his own and he will only begin his late run when he wants to. Javier was told by Cot and Jack of Dogwood to just sit back and he will know when Aikenite wants to go. Connections just hope today is one of those days when he decides to run his race. Abundance of speedy colts sets him up as good as it gets!
Good Luck Today!
Every $2500 helps pay stall fees.
Speed was king at Timonium yesterday and she did make up some ground late, just too far back early. Chris said he will look for a 7f or one turn mile coming up at Laurel. Maybe the added distance will get her back to the winner's circle!
