Exciting day on tap - good luck to all!
R6 - Juvenile Turf Sprint (2-11-4-3)
Ward has practically owned this race since it's inception and #2 Love Reigns is likely his next BC winner. I'll probably only use him in exotics, though, as the price will be too low for this field. I mean, #4 Dramatized has already beaten him at Ascot and is 15-1 ML. I'll also use the Baffert horse, #11 Speedboat Beach, and Assmussen's #3 Private Creed, who is still improving and seems to love the blinkers.
R7 - Juvenile Fillies (7-2-4-8)
I'm not sure if #7 Chop Chop or #4 Wonder Wheel will go off as the favorite, but between the two I see more chinks in WW's armor. He barely held off Chop Chop in their meeting last month, and that was after Chop Chop had a less than ideal start. #2 You're My Girl is the value in the race, in my opinion. Let's assume she prefers a fast track - it makes that last effort in the sloppy Frizette look even better. Also using #8 Atomically who is stepping way up in class but gets upgrade to Pletcher/Saez, so I can't ignore.
R8 - Juvenile Fillies Turf (2-3-5-10)
I like a closer to win this race and I see it as a wide open affair - long shots and huge payoffs. Landed on #2 Cairo Consort, who lost to #3 Last Call in a Grade 1 at Woodbine after getting stuck in traffic. Both should be double digits. Also using #5 Pleasant Passage at 12-1 ML (who beat possible chalk Free Look) and #10 Meditate.
R9 - Juvenile (3-9-4-10)
Here's my single. Nobody is beating #3 Cave Rock today, they are all vying for the place money. When looking for a price to complete the exacta, you could do worse than #9 Curly Jack at 20-1. Showed he can handle the distance in the Iroquois and has been working quite well. It's more likely either #10 National Treasure or #4 Forte make it a chalkie exacta, though.
R10 - Juvenile Turf (4-2-6-1)
The chalk just keeps on coming. It kills me to say it, but I can't see #4 Silver Knott losing this. No value at all. Also using #2 Packs a Wahlop and #1 Victoria Road - both coming off three straight victories. The fly in the ointment may be #6 Andthewinneris, who is 2 for 2 at Keeneland and draws Rosario.
