exacta box with #7 Classicist
#1 Waitlist
stretched out to a two-turn route at this distance in his last race and won
easily for trainer Linda Rice and actually has already run many of his career-best
efforts at this distance and/or on wet racetracks. Fits vs. today’s competition
at 10-1 morning-line odds.
Play in
exacta box with #7 Classicist, who has never run a bad race in sox career
outings so far for trainer Todd Pletcher with two wins. Specializes at this
distance and should rebound to best form with blinkers off.

solid comeback effort last time despite needing the race in return from a
nine-month layoff. New York bred stakes winner last year as a 3yo also ran
second in a NY Stallion Stakes division on a wet track. Huge live overlay for trainer
George Weaver on either turf or off-the-turf.
