Dale's Day Saturday

Overnight rain in Elmont was minimal. Track Super working it now and the main track should be fast by noon. Decent wind helping too. Turf tracks a different story. Yielding now but could be good by the Stakes. Good chance race 4 & 11 could come off. Nevertheless, it will have alot of cut.
Dale Romans has been living right! He gets exactly the conditions he was hoping for. Shack's race will be on a fast dirt track, and Finnegans Wake will benefit from soft turf. Not likely Little Mike will have it as easy as he did in Chicago, and Dale has let out signals that Finnegans Wake can run all day .
IMO, you have to be careful on days like this when you have horses that are BC bound and may not be primed for their best. Mott's Ron The Greek and Flat Out are big time but you know that Mott has bigger fish to fry down the road. However, RTG will be running when the others are done. In short, I just don't think you will see any big surprises or big prices today.
My Pick-6 costs $384.00 and is probably using too many:
6th---5/6
7th---1/2/6/9
8th---1/7
9th---2/6
10th--1/9
11th--1/2/4 turf only--if off turf--???
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

I like your ticket and the only one that scares me is leaving Nahrain out. After two dud efforts to open the season she showed glimpses of her old self in her last. If she's back at the top of her game she might be tough today.
Thanks was just going to use the 1 in that race threw the 8 in there also. Still alive for p4 and p6 had a huge win wager on CaixaEletronica but just couldn't get there
CE was real impressvie today, only horse as of now to make up ground over this track all day long. The rest were backing up and he was coming hard down the lane with his ears pricked and leveling off in a big way. I caught Drosselmeyer last year in the BC Classic as he was the only one makig up ground on this day last year over the same type track. CE is a book for next time out and the price will be decent. The sprint divison is wide open and the Cali homies might hold court this year as Zombie came in last year at CH and won.
