Race 11 - Rachel Alexandra Stakes
#6 Luv
Your Neighbor
Comes in
off a second-place finish by a neck in the Silverbulletday Stakes where she did
all the pace dirty work chasing a winner that got away with murder controlling
the pace and still finished ahead of 1-2 favorite Atropa, who was third. Two
races ago in the Untappable Stakes at Fair Grounds, Luv Your Neighbor just
missed by a head in second behind winning 1-5 favorite Hit Parade. Neither of
the horses that beat her in those races is entered in this race, and it should
finally be Luv Your Neighbor’s turn to win on Saturday at overlay 6-1 odds on
the morning line.
Race 12 - Risen Star Stakes
#4 Paladin
Plus
exacta box with #2 Golden Tempo
#4 Paladin
was the winner of the Grade 2 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct last fall in a victory
that looks even better now that the runner-up in that race, Renegade, came back
to win the Sam F. Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs last week. Seems to be loaded
with talent and well spotted for this 3-year-old debut for trainer Chad Brown.
Play in
exacta box with #2 Golden Tempo, who is off to a 2-for 2 start to his career
including a win at Fair Grounds last time in the Grade 3 Lecomte Stakes. Late
runner should relish this added distance at 1 1/8 miles and has already beaten
some of these same horses.
