Race 6
#7 Where’s Rudy
Plus
play exacta box w/#6 Danny California
#7 Where’s Rudy trounced maidens to win at first asking last
time, and earned a speed figure that compares favorably to today’s competition,
and that win looks even better now that the second-place finisher behind him
has already come back to graduate. Moves up against winners for the first time
and stretches out, but meets a beatable field and hails from a high-percentage
barn.
Play in exacta box with #6 Daddy California, who came back
from a three-month freshening last time with an improved effort to be second at
this level with a very solid speed figure. That effort looks good not that the
horse that beat him already came back to win his next race. Looms the main
competition for the win and the exacta boxes.
Race 8
#4 Courageous Queen
Got KO’d in a battle for the
lead last time but was certainly not embarrassed with that second-place finish.
Owns several good tries for the Todd Pletcher barn and her best speed figures
look good against today’s competition. Drops in for a claiming tag, and was
easily victorious the last time she did so. Owns speed and has a big
wire-to-wire chance as the best front-running type in this field.
