Race 5
#1a Stone
Tornado
Chad Brown
euro invader was last seen finishing second in a Group 3 race in Italy. Adds
first-time Lasix for the top barn and fits vs. this kind of competition. Forms
a formidable-looking 1 entry along with entrymate #1 Clara Peeters, who also
will have a good chance to win. Bet win-and-place on the entry.
Race 8
#5 Basquiat
Plus play exacta box w/#3 Tap It To Win
#5 Basquiat began
his career with a win at first asking at Gulfstream for Chad Brown, and did so
in the easiest fashion at 7F. Looms a horse that will be even better going a
route of ground, and now wastes no time stretching out to 1 1/16-miles with
Irad Ortiz back aboard. Brown wins with a huge 37% of his stretch-outs from sprints
to routes.
Play in
exacta box with #3 Tap It To Win, who showed big-time potential last summer at
Saratoga but then flopped in a pair of stakes to end the year 2019. Returned
from a layoff looking better than ever with a win last time in the 2020 debut,
and should improve further in the second off the layoff.
