Handicappers Corner
In the Kentucky Oaks race number 11 at Churchill Downs I like #5 Blind Luck the best. As many of you know I have liked her from day one. Talented and seemingly intelligent. Her smooth way of going enhances her chances at getting a good trip. Other contenders are 3, 7, 8, 11
There are plenty of races that need to be posted early so shortened comments for today so as not to sacrifice any handicapping time.
race 1 slightly above average clarity
1 Look To The Sky like her in her last and few reasons to think she can't fire again
3 Enlightened Lady woke up in last....fits well if repeats effort
5 Acute Velocity closer was able to rally and win with a lackluster pace in last
race 2 slightly above average clarity
3 B. I. Guy barn has woken up and the gelding is on the improve
9 Duke Of Aspen barn remains rather hot and gelding drops a small but helpful notch down the claiming ladder
8 Mikroman nice maiden debut especially considering it was at a route of ground
4 Rockstar Ben last looks like a maiden debut gimme to be full throttle today 2nd out on the drop down...hang on apprentice
race 3 below average clarity
4 Lauren C nice work series seemingly has very ready off of the 3 month layoff....difficult race to decipher
2 Triple Star chased a very nasty pace in a mile race in last.....that pace improvement and turning back to a sprint make her interesting
1 Burna Dette consistent sort will need her best at this level
race 4 average clarity
1 Cantona been breaking poorly short but going long for the 1st time should help her get up...bred to handle a route
5 Wells Furgo strong races till tossed a clunker in last...needs a rebound to add to the bank
6 St. Joel solid somewhat subtle move forward in last...may show even more today
9 Milky Way legged up on the grass in a MSW sprint affair...working OK and drops to the bottom and gives a route a try
race 5 average clarity
6 Thermal Way decent Msw debut and is training sharply...barn is solid with 2nd time starters
7 Sirocco Strike earned best ever on the AW in last with a wide trip...turf breeding is fine...barn is hot
5 Celtic Charmer excellent and dangerous work series for this 1ster
2 Royal Import finally gets to sprint on the grass again....best ever was a sprint on the sod
race 6 average clarity
2 Shantika's Dream eased and eased again but sure is training well 1st time blinkers and drops
1 Feed A Fever takes a logical significant drop in class
6 Saint Cindy only race at 7F was a decent fig earned with a bad trip
race 7 above average clarity
6 Thorondor sharp move forward in last....good chance to get a nice chase position with the right jock up
3 Soul Candy another who made a nice forward move and 2 reassuring works since
2 Teafatiller 3 consistent races at SA....needs only small improvement to compete for the top prize
race 8 average clarity
13 Gordy's Dream 1ster sure seems ready for debut and the Ellis barn is on fire
5 Goochio prolonged work solid series for this 1ster and comes from a broodmare that has tossed 6 winners from 6 foals
11 Detroit Donnie lost about 10 lengths in her maiden debut last and only got beat by 11...impressive recent 6 furlong work
4 Kalookan Commando all his efforts fit...very consistent...4th choice but seems most likely to hit the board
14 Padre Jon turf tightener in MSW and drops...might but the old gimme / go
