Race 7
#5 Blamed
Plus
play exacta box w/#4 Shamrock Rose
#5 Blamed leads a likely exacta box along with favored
Shamrock Rose in this race, the only question is who will win? The good money
is on the better-priced horse, which is this case will be Blamed, who has won 6
of 8 career races with one of only two setbacks coming against Shamrock Rose
last year in the Raven Run Stakes at Keeneland at this distance. Great chance
at revenge here today based on the pace in this race because this horse will
get out to a long headstart over the late-running Shamrock Rose.
Play in exacta box with #4 Shamrock Rose, who has won four
straight races including the Filly & Mare Sprint last time out and
certainly would be no surprise at all if she run the winning streak here to
five in a row. Likes this distance, continually getting better, and will be a
deserving favorite.
Race 11
#2 Yoshida
Yoshida put together a very
good career on turf with 4 wins and 7 in-the-exacta finishes in 10 lifetime
grass outings, including wins in the G3 Hill Prince at Belmont and the G1 Turf
Classic at Churchill Downs. Yoshida has gotten better as his career has
progressed, and he even made a highly successful crossover to the main track in
the second-half of 2018 when he won the G1 Woodward at Saratoga and then was
fourth beaten less than two lengths last time out in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Back on the grass, Yoshida figures to be even better now, and while this field
is very deep, it lacks a standout rival who jumps off the page as even being in
the same league as this runner.
