#3
Tab at Zanzibar
Likely to go off at odds less than her
6-1 morning line but she’ll still be worth a bet at any price. Finished second
to a perfect set-up 1-5 favorite in her career debut last time out after winning
a speed duel but getting softened up in the process. She’ll be a handful in
this second lifetime start.
Race
11 – New York Stakes

Gezora

exacta box with #4 Laurelin
#9
Gezora is the defending
Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf champion who was upset by #8 Kathynmarissa
when both horses were making their returns from layoffs. Gezora wasn’t fully
cranked-up that day but will be today for Bill Mott in the second race off the
layoff.
Play
in exacta box with #4 Laurelin, who also lost her seasonal debut race last time
out when needing a race off a layoff. Toss out that last race and expect her to
return to top form in this spot in her second race back from the sidelines. Prior
to that last race, she had won 5 of her 7 career starts and the only horses
that beat her when she was in mid-season form were monsters Lush Lips and Fionn,
both of whom are absent from this field.
