    I forgot my analysis.....I play horses the way I play sports....look to fade horses off a career-best Beyer and look to play horses who are consistent.

    That being said, one of my favorite plays Saturday is in the 8th race, on #3 - After Market.....I threw out the 1,2,4,6,9,11, and 13 due to jockey changes......our 3 horse has a solid jock in A Solis has been a consistent performer with 6 consecutive Beyers of at least 111, while peaking at 121 three races back.....After Market opened the second choice behind the #13 Excellent Art, who I automatically toss as a foreigner.....I really like After Market's history of one race per month as it has been successful for trainer Shirreffs.

    horse analysis

    forgot to put the analysis in

    Race #7 Sprint Greg's Gold #10

    At 9-2, price justifies a play. Horse has almost as much speed as favorites, great connections and has had some troubled trips on his line. Great workouts help as well.
