Race 8 – The Poker
#1 Dream Friend
Plus
play exacta box w/#7 Got Stormy
#1 Dream Friend is a pace play in this one-mile Grade
3 race that lacks any other legitimate front runner to keep pace with this guy.
Speed and the rail should get out in front, and is ready to improve off the
loss last time out in what was his first race off a seven-month layoff. Prepped
and ready to roll, around the track wire-to-wire.
Play in exacta box with #7 Got Stormy, who a mare facing
males agaim just as she has done successfully through much of her career,
including a Grade 1 win and several other Grade 1 stakes placings. Has yet to
be at her best so far in this 2020 campaign, but this is an ideal spot in which
to get back on track again. If anyone can track down the lone speed horse, it
is likely to be her.
Race 11 – The Suburban
#6 Sir Winston
Belmont
Stakes winner here at 1 ½ miles obviously won’t have a problem with this 1 ¼-mile
distance, especially because there’s plenty of legitimate pace entered in this
race to set-up his late run. Lack of a pace set-up was the problem last time
out in the loss to Moretti on a sloppy track. This horse in at his best by far
on this track, and this is the perfect spot for him to get back into form and
revisit his glory days.
