Race 3
#6 Monster Mash
No dice in the last two races, which were on turf and at 7F, but now is ready for a strong rebound performance back in dirt at the preferred distance of 6 furlongs. Has speed, but doesn’t need the solo lead at this distance in order to win. Owns 10 career victories and good workouts since the last race for new trainer indicate a return to top fitness.
Race 9
#6 Oscar Performance
Plus play an exacta box w/#9 Good Samaritan
#6 Oscar Performance has yet to get going so far in 2017, but it’s way too early to give up and when everyone gets off the bandwagon, that’s the best time to get on with the odds today going at 4-1 on the morning line. Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner has beaten most of this competition at one point or another, owns a stakes win here on this turf course, and is ready to regain best form.
Play in exacta box w/#9 Good Samaritan, who finished behind the top pick in the Breeders’ Cup last fall, but unlike that horse has returned with a good effort so far in 2017, finishing second by a length in the American Turf Stakes at Churchill on the Derby undercard for Bill Mott. Needs to rally from far back, but has high speed figures and will be tough to beat based on his best effort, especially if we don’t see the return of the old Oscar Peformance.
