my best bet of the day, tradition rocks is a scratch in the feature today; undaunted, we'll play a few of these less than spectacular offerings.
r1: ancient treasures. i think mark of courage will take the lion's share of support in here, but he's got several things working against him that make taking a short price not that exciting; namely, he's taking a class hike up to maiden 40k and he doesn't have much speed. in fact, he's by stamina influence (and belmont stakes winner) colonial affair out of a palace music mare. can you say one-paced? and, he's shortening up in distance to 6.5fs! i'm going to try ancient treasures, who goes for the seldom-supported jojo steiner. 'treasures has been training forwardly and need only break alertly to contend in here.
r2: cease span. love love love ellis off the claim, as his barn is primarily full of allowance/stakes horses for b wayne hughes. when ron reaches in, i pay attention. 'span is coming off a very nice win and gets the obligatory class rise off the red-tag.
r5: electric chair. see above re: ellis off the claim and this one has the pedigree to move up on the grass by multiple turf winning sire, unusual heat. 'chair gets the rail, should sit a good trip just off the pace. i'm hoping for north of the 3/1 morning line.
that's it. absolutely loved tradition rocks in the 7th, but will now pace the race. good luck.
