Race 3
#4 I Am Sparticus
Plus
play exacta box w/#6 Kaden’s Courage
#4 I Am Sparticus is a first-time starter coming into this
race with a solid worktab for high percentage trainer Brad Cox, who wins with
24% of his first starters. Meets a vulnerable field and if he can run at all,
which appears likely, he’ll be a handful versus these.
Play
in exacta box with #6 Kaden’s Courage, who looks by far the best of the horses in this race who’ve
already run with a third-place finish in a key race at Saratoga to begin his
career and then a runner-up finish last time out in a $100k stakes race at
Finger Lakes. Today’s assignment should be considerably easier.
Race 6
#10 Shannon’s Girl
Stretched
out to a turf route last time and lost to a runaway repeat next-out winner, but
now lands in a field that does not appear to have a standout rival and cuts
back in distance back into a turf sprint. The turf sprint career debut effort
was a solid second-place finish in a key race where both the winner and the
third-place horse both came back to win their next races. Irad Ortiz is back
for the mount. Ready to roll.
