Race 5
#3 Epic Adventure
Debuted
against tougher at Keeneland for trainer Wayne Catalano, who doesn’t even try
with first starters and had lost 30 in a row with debut runners, yet this horse
ran a better race than any of today’s competition with a much better speed
figure. Now goes second time out for a trainer who cranks ‘em up in their
second starts with a 28% win percentage. Ready to roll.
Race 7
#3 Blacktop
Legend
Plus play exacta box w/ #4 Mo’s Mojo
#3 Blacktop Legend is a live
overlay at 10-1 odds on the morning line for defending leading trainer Diodoro.
Cuts back to 6F, a distance at which this horse is 2-for-2, and this horse
returns from a layoff and is already proven to run well fresh. Exits a loss in
a key race at Keeneland. Meets much easier today.
Play in
exacta box with #4 Mo’s Mojo, who is usually a route horse, but they are going
to try to improve their stock here today with a cutback into a sprint race. The
last time this horse ran a sprint was a second-place finish at Keeneland last
summer where he ran a better speed figure than any of today’s competition is
capable of, so perhaps this distance will be the ley to success today, at least
in the exactas.
