#7 ASSET ALLOCATION (ML=6/1)
#10 JUSTCALLME K L (ML=5/1)
#3 MASTER ZEUS (ML=10/1)
ASSET ALLOCATION - Have to make this gelding a strong challenger; he comes off a strong effort on August 21st. Comparing how the horses in this field have fared under similar conditions, I see this horse has the highest speed fig for the dist/surf. After the race aboard this animal on August 21st, the rider is going to be acquainted with the gelding much better. This gelding has plenty of ability on the turf. Could be long gone by the time they hit the stretch. Came home in fast time in the last race. A positive sign. A repeat of that last performance on August 21st where he garnered a speed fig of 92 looks lofty enough to win in this clash. JUSTCALLME K L - Coming off a fifth place finish at Laurel, some may pass this horse. I'm not. He just missed hitting the show spot, and has decent morning line odds today. MASTER ZEUS - Like the way this gelding's finish positions keep getting better. That's a sure sign of improving form. Lets try to beat the probable favorites with this gelding. Just missed last out, but ran a pretty good race.
Vulnerable Contenders: #15 GILES FAIR (ML=4/1), #6 MOTT (ML=9/2),
GILES FAIR - Tough to bet on any horse to turn things around if there is no wager value to taking the stab. Don't think this vulnerable equine will do much running in today's race. That last speed figure was somewhat easily forgotten when compared with today's class rating. MOTT - Didn't hit the board on June 29th at Delaware Park. Followed it up with another less than stellar try. This runner ran a common speed rating in the last race. He shouldn't improve and will likely lose in today's race running that number.
