Notes |
#1 Gold Foot |
He might be a slight reach, but he's quick enough to have an early impact in a race where the tactical types seem happy to settle. Could see him being right up on the splits from the rail draw. |
#9 Formidable Man |
He has a couple dull lines on his page from stakes tries, but he woke up last out when getting in with similar and should find a good spot to get first jump from out here. |
#3 Better Than Gold |
He couldn't hang with Grade III company on the Derby Trail after the graduation run, but he's back in a more reasonable spot to try turf today. His overall form isn't totally convincing, but it's worth noting he's caught Nysos in both career losses -- and there is nobody anywhere close to that drawn in this group today. |
Race Summary |
Fun to see some of these horses try to find a home on the turf after they showed some talent and were understandably given a shot on the Derby Trail. Gold Foot should be a solid price on the rise as he meets those aforementioned runners, and I think he'll be in a good spot right up on the action. |
