#3 Baltimore Heart |
Regular readers in this space are probably sick of hearing about this guy, but I really think there is something here after three races with excuses. Toss the dirt debut along with the second try in which he totally blew the break, rushed up with sharp pace, and then folded, and you're left with a guy who might be just a good break away from graduating. He was again away slowly last out and came through from off the pace with a bold move before going flat in the final yards. I'm all in -- he'll put it all together today. |
#7 Hero Worship |
He just missed in a decent race last time out when getting on the turf for the first time, but I'm guessing the price will get on the short side in a race that doesn't appear to have a ton of depth. |
#8 Lucchesi |
Think he might be something more like a miler down the road, but he has been working regularly ahead of this and has turned in a few quick drills. Get a look at him. |
Race Summary |
Baltimore Heart has shown flashes of ability -- namely his pace and ability to accelerate -- but hasn't been able to overcome his own troubles yet. That last one was a really encouraging effort, and a clean break would likely leave him right up on the splits in a race without a ton of pace. Think he's a handful today. |
