Race 5
3yo fillies alw N2L or opt clm $80k
one mile inner turf
#5 MIGHTY SOUPER, 6-1
This young filly was a $275k yearling purchase so you know she rang all the conformation bells. By War Front out of a Pulpit mare, she showed up at Oaklawn Park back in January and quickly became a clockers favorite as she prepared for her debut and an expected run in the Fantasy/Ky Oaks circuit. However, Casse pulled an option and went with "Plan B". In Feb she shipped out to Santa Anita and began her career on turf. She was green in her first few races but came alive when sent to CD. Broke maiden then went to Indiana Downs for a minor stakes try where she ran ok, but not good enough to do any better than 3rd. Yet, she has been fairly close in all races and the CD clockers say she looks like a very good horse! This race sets up well for her as she will sit right off the lead and swing wide coming out of the turn and make her run.
WPS and ex bx with 3--6--9
Race 9
Hall of Fame
#9 A LOT, 6-1
Somewhat unknown but according to clockers he is a monster!$410k yearling purchase out of TAPIT, and Billy Mott has brought him around with kid gloves and pointing for a big second half of the racing season and possible BC entry? Bill Mott in a stakes race--what else needs to be said!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Race 5
#3 Mighty Souper(listed above as #5 which is wrong)
#2 GAP YEAR
July 20 SAR 4f fm :50.04
Took readily to the turf, broke a half-length in front
of 3-year-old allowance filly Mrs Hudson, pulled
well clear after four furlongs in 25.40, 49.90, then
steadily increased her advantage on the gallop-out.
RATING: B
#3 MIGHTY SOUPER
Aug. 1 SAR 5f fm 1:02.90
Turned in a promising effort around dogs at Oklahoma
along with Grade 3 winner World Approval,
finished a head best while going easily inside
pressed mate before galloping out four lengths
clear into the turn. RATING: B
I'm also on A Lot in the Hall of Fame. When we agree on a horse, you know where he is finishing...up the track!!!
Also, Irad is a beast.
Damn!!!
