Â
Happy birthday to one
 terrific brother !
Â
Average card today to try and keep a solid week going in the right direction. Heart breaker yesterday for many in the 5th as so many were alive in pick 5's and pick 4's that were paying like pick 6's. Â
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarityÂ
5 Blue Grass Music  easily best ever was lone race in claimer...up for a tag today
2 Argue My Case  only 4 year old in the race and gets in as low weight with the 10 lb apprentice aboard...MSW dropper
3 Lyrical  will need best ever but is better than appears in print
Â
race 2Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
4 Scorpion Warrior   for me the most impressive 2 year effort so far...bad trip and still ran a very fast 4 1/2F time in MSW debut
8 I'll Have Another  1st timer is training well and the connections basically knew what they wer getting having purchased this one last April
1 Ron Burgundy  18 to 1 says debut last was needed and it wasn't bad....much more today in 2nd lifetime start
6 Hurry Home Clover  debut last was OK and blinkers off for today...trainer is searching for more from this colt
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
2 Miss Georgie Girl  positive rider switch....blinkers off....Walsh is solid 1st out after she removes the blinkers
3 Rebecca  rather sure this laid up filly is set to roll fresh off of the bench...crushed foes in only grass endeavor
5 Sweet Baquette  solid layoff 1st ever on the sod win in last......nice 4 work series since....ready to show more
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
5 Dance Little Angel  very bad journey in last hides a nice forward move...smartly steps up in claiming price
3 Judicious  learned to rate in last and won going away.....sharp 5/8ths drill since....likely to fire best ever
7 Lily Amore  consistent late runner when running on the AW
2 Siempre Esperanza  37 to 1 winner in debut into the racing world.....probably even fitter today and may move forward enough to compete versus better today
Â
race 5Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
2 Ninth Infantry  likes to chase and once again will chase the 8 horse which was her path to victory 2 races back....sharp reassuring recent work
5 Miss Mittagong  solid run/win in last and retains the hot Flores in the saddle
8 Jax Ex  fabulous early speed will get loose and try to stick around...would be top choice if it wasn't for her lack of works (none) the past 4+ weeks
3 Lea The Punisher  needs to rebound to last Winters form...maybe the blinkers on will do the trick
Â
race 6Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
7 Brigand  just paid 900+K for this colt in March and trains like a very good animal as you would expect...and Baffert is the conditioner
5 Truco Landing  bore out badly in last or would have won a small 2 year Stakes race in last....impressive 6F drill since especially for a baby
1 Got Even   Miller charge is training like he is well meant in his MSW debut
3 Smart Ellis  mom has been a solid producer....works our good enough to possibly be ready for his debut into the world of racing
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
2 Way Too Much  dangerous capable GG trainer ships in with a good series of works and a small drop in claiming price
5 Concerto's Thunder   very consistent runner on the AW especially at 7 and 7 1/2 F.....does tend to hang a little
3 Racketeer  good somewhat hidden move forward in last....just claimed and we get a much better rider today....has been hanging in the stretch the last couple years or would have rated higher
8 River Echo  ran his eyeballs out after a very awkward start...back quick and drops...fits as well as anyone if still in good health
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
8 California Flag  rather simple here...a ton if returns off of his layoff ready to roll...works seem good enough
5 Cherokee Heaven  finally gets ample pace to close into....has been very unlucky in the pace scenario dept. this year
3 Quick Enough  good shot to get a nice mid pack/ponce position behind what should be a fast pace
1 Gallant Son  quality turf horse seems better suited long but at least he should get the aforementioned heat up front to close into
Â
race 9Â Â Â average clarity
7 Golden In Excess  10 to 1 in a 6 horse field suggests this 1ster wasn't all that cranked for her mc debut...ran better than it appears in print....blistering bullet drill since
6 Kisses For Kate  soft woks for MSW debut.....gimme.....stronger works and now in a maiden claimer says go...and go for trainer very good with 2nd timers
2 Swiss Charm  1st time in maiden claiming for this laid up filly...works seem to say she all set fresh
4 Sentimental Ballard  awakening trainer also looks like a major player on the drop out of MSW racing at GG
5 Cookinthisorthat  overdo drop out of MSW
1 Torre Italiana   positive.....better jock up for today....positive.....move forward in last....negative.....tends to flatten at 6 1/2 furlongsÂ
