Meet the Contenders: Saturday’s Diana at Saratoga

July 7, 2025 | By Jeremy Plonk

The turf will be center stage Saturday at Saratoga as the traditional summer meet’s opening weekend co-features the Grade 2 $200,000 Bowling Green and the Grade 1 $500,000 Diana. Horseplayers at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet can take part in the 1 Million 1/ST Rewards Points Late Pick 4 Hit & Split promotion, which includes the Diana.

Let’s meet the contenders for the Diana (Race 11):

#1-SHE FEELS PRETTY: 4-year-old filly has won 4 straight races, including a trio of Grade 1 events during the current streak. Cherie DeVaux trainee won the New York over this turf course during the Belmont Stakes Festival and was runner-up here last summer in the Lake Placid. Regular pilot John Velazquez returns to Saratoga after last Saturday’s successful road trip in winning the Indiana Derby. Velazquez is a Diana record 6-time winner of this race.

#2-CHOISYA: British-bred and raced runner makes her third straight start stateside for Simon Crisford. She won April’s Grade 1 Jenny Wiley at Keeneland, but tossed in a dud seventh off that in the Grade 1 Just A Game over the Saratoga course in her only local appearance. Multiple Group 2 winner in Dubai this winter was a listed stakes winner in the UK. Luis Saez, who has ridden in both US starts and won the 2014 Diana aboard Somali Lemonade, will have the mount.

#3-LADY CLAYPOOLE: UK export came to the US in the summer of 2023 and has ascended to become of the better turf mares in Southern California. She won the Grade 3 Santa Ana in March and was runner-up last out in the May 26 Grade 1 Gamely at Santa Anit behind Diana rival Be Your Best. Joel Rosario gets the first-time mount for trainer Richard Baltas. Starspangledbanner 5-year-old has finished first or second in 5 straight starts.

#4-EXCELLENT TRUTH: Chad Brown has won this race 3 years running, 8 of the last 9 years, and a record 9 times overall. Flavien Prat was aboard the last 2 and seeks a Diana 3-peat. They’ll team with this 5-year-old French export who has been runner-up as the favorite in both US starts to date, the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley and Grade 1 Just A Game. Both recent placings came behind Diana rivals, Choisya at Keeneland and Dynamic Pricing at the Spa. Group 3 winner and Group 1-placed during her French career.

#5-DYNAMIC PRICING: Second Chad Brown entrant who could give the barn it’s record-padding 10th Diana victory. She won the Grade 2 Edgewood during a 1-for-6 sophomore season in 2024, but is 2-for-2 this year and exits a 10-1 upset in the Grade 1 Just a Game over this course. Stretches out to 1-1/8 miles for the first time and notably the worst performance of her career came in the Belmont Oaks Invitational last summer in her longest career test. Dylan Davis was aboard for the Just A Game victory and returns to the saddle.

#6-BE YOUR BEST: Florida-based mare shipped west and wired Santa Anita’s Grade 1 Gamely on May 25, adding to her Grade 2 Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf title in a 2-for-3 campaign so far. Irad Ortiz Jr. partnered with Saffie Joseph Jr. in winning the Gamely and keeps the call. Ortiz won the Diana in 2016 and 2017, the latter aboard the great Lady Eli. Be Your Best has been first or second early in each of her last 7 starts and should be quite comfortable early against these 5 rivals that typically do not employ early speed.

Race of the Week: Saturday's Azalea at Gulfstream

July 9, 2025 | By Jeremy Plonk

The Lead:
Saturday’s $75,000 Gulfstream Park feature goes as Race 10 and rematches 4 runners from the Game Face Stakes, a race that has springboarded the past 5 winners of the Azalea. The Azalea Stakes inaugurated in 1975, was long part of Calder’s Summit of Speed and moved to Gulfstream Park in 2015 when extended from 6 furlongs to its current 7-furlong distance.

Field Depth:
Stakes winners LUVUMORGAN, ADNREA and UNCHAINED ELAINE headline the credentials. BEE A QUEEN, FEDER and ANNA’S PROMISE are stakes-placed, the latter in Grade 2 company. ANNA’S PROMISE and UNCHAINED ELAINE have consistently kept the most impressive strength of schedules.

Pace:
While there are no true blazers on the front end, no less than 5 of these 7 entrants have principally been pace-pressing types. It may not be blazing fast, but it will be competitive – and that sometimes can be more stressful than going faster while clear. A strong finisher may have the edge.

Our Eyes:
Here are my horse-by-horse notes.

#1-LUVUMORGAN: Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. won last year’s Azalea in dominant fashion with Haulin Ice, who also exited the Game Face Stakes. Strong finish last out netted a 103 BRIS late pace figure in the 6-1/2 furlong prep and a similar kick makes her strictly the one to beat in the final yards Saturday.

#2-BEE A QUEEN: After 7 losses to open her career, took out her frustrations on 4 maiden rivals June 14 with a 5-1/2 length breakout win. Jena Antonucci trainee didn’t finish as strong as it looks on paper, however, needed 13-2/5 the final furlong and earning a modest 84 BRIS late pace figure.

#3-ANDREA: Thousand Words filly rocketed to victory in her first 2 starts last summer and hinted at being a huge threat in this distaff sprint division locally. But she’s 1-for-5 since and was no match late for Saffie Joseph Jr. stablemate Luvumorgan late in the Game Face. She does seem to be rounding back to that promising form and may be the most dangerous of the early threats. Miguel Vasquez piloted 2022 Azalea winner Last Leaf.

#4-UNCHAINED ELAINE: Any Limit Stakes winner from March folded readily in the Game Fast last out to finish fifth of 6 at 2-1 odds. Shows 2 workouts since that May 31 disappointment for Patrick Biancone, similar to the other Game Face alumnae. Has struggled with stamina late in races beyond 6 furlongs more often than not.

#5-ANNA’S PROMISE: Grade 2 Gulfstream Oaks runner-up cuts back in distance for the first time since February, a streak of 4 straight route races (3 in stakes company). Short or long, she’s been part of the pace mix and probably will be again in this drop in class. Trainer Carlos David won this race in 2021 with Shea D Summer and plays a strong hand Saturday.

#6-FEDE: Last November’s My Dear Girl third-place finisher gets back to the stakes ranks after winning allowance races in 2 of her last 3 starts. Jockey Emisael Jaramillo seeks back-to-back Azalea victories after piloting Haulin Ice to victory a year ago. Armando De La Cerda trainee has been highly consistent around 1 turn.

#7-NERAZURRI: Longshot ran last by 25 lengths in the Game Face Stakes and requires a major wakeup call to turn the tables. Rider change to Edgar Perez as trainer Angel Quiroz shakes it up on this 2-for-6 maiden claiming graduate.

Most Likely Exotics Contender:
LUVUMORGAN handled many of these last out and should be finished best of all.

Best Longshot Contender:
No big prices projected.

Sending it in ($100 bankroll):
$85 exacta LUVUMORGAN over ANNA’S PROMISE. $15 exacta LUVUMORGAN over ANDREA.

Scott Shapiro: Saratoga Late Pick 4 Analysis | Saturday, July 12

July 10, 2025 | By Scott Shapiro

Opening week of the traditional Saratoga summer meet and 1/ST BET and Xpressbet’s 1 Million 1/ST Rewards Points Late Pick 4 Hit & Split continue on Saturday afternoon for a strong 12-race card headlined by the Diana (G1). The featured race goes through Lael Stables’ She Feels Pretty, but Chad Brown has won the event 8 of the last 9 years. The upstate New York native has a strong 1-2-punch that gives him a shot to earn his record 10th Diana victory. Let’s get to it!

Grade Descriptions: Grade A=Highest degree of confidence; Grade B=Solid Play. Grade C=Least preferred or pass; Grade X=probable winner but likely at odds too short to play.

Race 9:
Grade: B-
Main Ticket: 5 Gilded Craken; 9 Then
Backups: 1 Move to Gold

Forecast: The sequence kicks off with a challenging first-level allowance over the lawn where Chad Brown’s uncoupled entry of #1 Move to Gold and #1A Debt Limit were made the 5-2-ML favorite by oddsmaker David Aragona. Of the two, Move to Gold looks far stronger on paper despite coming off a year layoff. The Twirling Candy colt kept solid company throughout his 3YO campaign and Brown is 13 for 48 with a $2.65 ROI over the last 5 years at the Spa with turf routers off 200 to 400-day layoffs. Move to Gold draws to the far outside making him tough to get excited about at the likely price, but he has a significant chance nonetheless.

#5 Gilded Craken is an intriguing option making his second start off the break for trainer Joe Sharp. The McCraken gelding stalked from his far outside draw in a competitive allowance event at Churchill Downs won by a Godolphin runner that came right back to win at Ellis Park lats weekend. Gilded Craken hit the board in both of his efforts over this course last summer and appears to have a tactical advantage. Hopefully, Jose Ortiz can ration out of his speed for the entire 9-furlong journey. If he struggles to seal the deal, hopefully #9 Then picks things up. The Not This Time colt raced against the turf profile at Keeneland on April 19 when he came with a wide move from off the pace to finish third. He attracts Irad Ortiz Jr. for the first time and should be finishing well in his first local try.

Race 10:
Grade: C+
Main Ticket: 4 General Partner
Backups: None

Forecast: I am far less creative in this high-level allowance at 7-furlongs over the main track where #4 General Partner is the 5-2-ML choice. The Klaravich Stables colt bounced back from a pair of disappointing efforts to kick off his 4YO campaign with a stress-free victory over the off going last month. The Speightstown colt has underachieved a bit since his runner-up in the Champagne (G1) in 2023, but he loves this racetrack and should get a perfect inside stalking trip under regular rider Flavien Prat. Single city in a race where several are in with a big chance if General Partner puts in a clunker.

Race 11: Diana (G1)
Grade: B-
Main Ticket: 5 Dynamic Pricing; 1 She Feels Pretty
Backups: None

Forecast: Things could get a little chalky if both General Partner and #1 She Feels Pretty both get home as likely favorites in the late Pick 4. If you are high on both of their chances, I recommend taking stands against the favorites in the first and final leg or going thin and trying to hit this multiple times.

She Feels Pretty is certainly the one to beat. The Karakontie filly has rattled off 4 straight graded stakes wins, including a half-length victory in the New York (G1) last month. She makes her third start of the form cycle and brings in the strongest resume, but if I am poking holes I could wonder how she will perform if she gets caught in tight along the rail during the early and middle stages. Most of her recent wins have come with clean outside stalking trips or with extremely favorable ones like she got in the QEII Cup (G1) last fall. Perhaps this will be her undoing?

#5 Dynamic Pricing is the filly I give the best chance of besting She Feels Pretty. The daughter of Night of Thunder has been a better horse since returning off the layoff in May for Chad Brown. She has come from off the pace to win a pair of recent graded stakes in New York, including her upset in the Just A Game (G1) last month. If Dylan Davis can work out another trip, she should be set for her best.

Race 12:
Grade: B
Main Ticket: 1 Regalton; 6 Girls Rock
Backups: None

Forecast: I am hopeful to beat the two ML favorites in this MSW turf sprint for fillies and mares to close out things out. I like #1 Regalton most. The Zouster filly has been freshened up by trainer George Weaver after chasing a serious sprinter around the synthetic at Gulfstream Park on May 1. The winner that day, Luna Louska has now rattled off 3 consecutive wins, including a stakes victory at Horseshoe Indianapolis on the Fourth of July. Expect Luis Saez to send this gal aggressively from her inside draw.

I also like #6 Girls Rock. The Maclean’s Music filly was moved to the grass two-back by trainer Whit Beckman and ran quite well to finish second to a Brian Lynch trainee that has won 3 in a row, including the Pea Patch Stakes at Ellis Park last weekend. She did not find her normal prominent spot in the early going last time, but still found a way to finish third. I like her chances to run a big one, assuming she can avoid another slow start.

Jeff Siegel’s Saratoga Narrative
Saturday, July 12, 2025
(for further information, follow us on “X” @jsiegelracing)

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
RACE 1: Post: 12:35 ET Grade: A-
Main Ticket: 4-Tagermeen.
Backups/savers: 1-Throckmorton; 3-Tapit’s Legacy.

Forecast: Tagermeen was highly impressive at the OBS April Sale when breezing a furlong in 9 4/5 seconds, fastest time for the session. He’s an exquisite mover by Into Mischief colt and is a full brother to the sprint stakes winner Taraz, so he’s supposed to be good. The. S. Asmussen-trained colt has been given a solid foundation of drills in the interim, though nothing flashy (no need to) and appears fit and ready for a major effort first crack out of the box.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
RACE 5: Post: 1:33 ET Grade: B+
Main Ticket: 8-Activist Investing (GB)
Backups/savers: none.

Forecast: Activist Investment (GB) has been sparingly raced throughout his career and is launching another comeback, having been off since early February after missing 2024 entirely. However, on his best day he’s quite fast on numbers and more than capable of winning this condition. The C. Brown-trained horse is reunited with “win rider” F. Prat and has won over the Saratoga turf course in the past, so there should be no excuses. The son of Kingman projects to settle in the second flight and then blast home, and with some help up front and a ground saving trip he should be along in time. His morning line of 4-1 seems about right.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
RACE 7: Post: 3:54 PT Grade: B+
Main Ticket: 2-Malarchuk
Backups/savers: 6-Film Star; 9-Bramito.

Forecast: Malarchuk earned a triple digit Beyer speed figure when second over this track and distance at this level in early June when finishing 11 lengths clear of the third horse. Anything close to that performance today lands him in the winner’s circle. The son of Nyquist retains F. Prat and projects to settle into a cozy stalking position, though if the opportunity presents itself the C. Brown-trained colt could inherit the role as the controlling speed and be quite comfortable in doing so. The price on the tote may not be much but he’s solid as a logical rolling exotic key.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
RACE 8: Post: 4:29 PT Grade: B+
Main Ticket: 5-Webslinger.
Backups/Savers: 7-Far Bridge.

Forecast: Webslinger has a reasonable chance to pull off a mild upset in this year’s edition of the Bowling Green S.-G2. While Far Bridge is the logical favorite and the one to beat, this tough-as-nails gelding has races that make him quite dangerous in his second start off a layoff following an excellent runner0up effort at Woodbine in the Eclipse S.-G2 a couple of months back. Effective from off the pace but with enough tactical speed to be within range should the early fractions be soft, the M. Casse-trained 5-year-old picks up J. Ortiz and has run well over the local lawn in the past. At 7/2 on the morning line, he’s worth a bit of a gamble.

Al Cimaglia: Meadowland Pace Late Pick 4 Analysis

July 12, 2025 | By Al Cimaglia

It's a special night of racing at the Meadowlands with a 14-race card with over $2.4 million in purses. The headliner rolls in Race 11 when nine 3-year-old colts and geldings battle for a share of a $656,000 purse in the Meadowlands Pace Final. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 11, it has a $100,000 guaranteed pool, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 11 (10:30 PM EDT)

1-Papis Pistol (9/2)-This is a very nice 3-year-old who has David Miller at the controls. Could make the most of drawing the 1-hole again, as it did winning its last start against five from this field. Does well racing on the lead or close to it and should get an efficient trip. For an upset to happen a favorable trip would most likely be required and the son of Papi Rob Hanover has been successful at M1 (11-5-1-1). Should offer a square price and be in the hunt at the wire. Will use the Sam DePinto trainee as a key in gimmicks and it is my choice to upset this talented group.
5-Captain Optimistic (3-1)-Odds-on chalk was beaten in last by the one above who got a great ground saving trip and was the best down the lane. Dexter Dunn worked hard to get the on the point, but maybe more than 26.3 opening quarter, the 27.3 3rd quarter might have been its undoing. All of these need a decent trip to win and past history at the Big M shouldn't be overlooked (10-6-2-1). Dunn can get the job done without leading every step of the way. The Nancy Takter entry has tactical speed as well as the ability to grind it out, and the versatility could make a difference.
9-Madden Oaks (5/2)-This is the program favorite who needs to still prove it's a deal closer. Has wicked gate speed to be put in play and is facing a field full of potential winners. If the Cameron Capone pupil comes with a top effort and the trip is smooth, he could live up to the top billing. Hasn't raced at M1 before, and its four wins have happened on smaller ovals but has been close at Mohawk.

Race 12 (10:55 PM EDT)

2-Rodeo Drive Deo (7/2)-Ships in from PcD off a nice win in a PASS event and has been idle since taking a picture on 6-21. David Miller steers, likes M1 (7-2-3-1), will look for another strong effort and has a post edge on some tough foes.
7-Looksgoodinloulou (6-1)-Speed is not an issue with the Ron Burke trainee, has a 148.3 mark at Lex as a 2-year-old. But missing over a month might be an issue as well as having only 2 races this season. Did put in a solid qualifier on 7-4 finishing 2nd behind today's chalk. Will take a swing there is more to give and that this filly will be dialed on high.
11-Miki And Minnie (3-1)-Tries Lasix for the first time and won the qualifier on 7-4 using it. It's difficult to leave the Chris Ryder trainee off the ticket but from the 2nd tier it will be a bigger challenge. There isn't much gate speed on the inside, but Dunn could grind it out and be there at the wire. This gal knows how to win the hard way.

Race 13 (11:20 PM EDT)

1-Call Me Goo (7/5)-Team Svanstedt pupil comes off a nice win defeating every mare in this field. This is the logical play that will be a small price. Made it look easy from post 7 last time and has won 3 of 8 at M1.
2-M-M's Dream (3-1)-Th Burke entry could bring some value and does very good at the Big M (14-5-3-4). Yannick Gingras should be on top or in the pocket into turn one. If the chalk doesn't have its fast ball this looks like the picture taker.

Race 14 (11:45 PM EDT)

3-McWicked Time (5-1)-Should offer a fair price and this will be the first time for Dexter Dunn to get the nod. Does like to burn money but should fit with this crew and the new pilot could make a winning difference.
4-Storm The Court (5-1)-The Mark Silva trainee should be in the mix at the wire with a smooth trip. Gets the services of David Miller tonight and can offer a square price.
5-Louis Litt N (7/2)-Raced big versus this kind in last, left from the same post and missed by a half-length at 14-1. Won't be close to that number this time but deserves respect especially with this post draw.

$1 Late Pick 4

1,5,9/2,7,11/1,2/3,4,5
Total Bet=$54

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Canterbury Park - Race #1

#6 Ruby's Posse	Tough to know which filly is going to show up, but her better stuff fits with some upside today in the second start back. Think a couple of those Remington Park tries might do the trick.
#3 Denada	Not a ton of super-committed pace lined up in this one, and she should find a good spot right near the top while sorting things out with the other forward players. Could drill these.
#5 Divine Gift	Little doubt that she can win this, but I don't have any confidence that she'll bring her best stuff, and she has already had a lot of chances. The price is going to be short, too -- obvious player, but you can have her.
Race Summary	Ruby's Posse might be an OK price here in a spot where she needs to bring a top effort, but otherwise I don't think she's that far off the other obvious players today.

Canterbury Park - Race #2

#6 Feather Inthe Wind	Worth a little swing here with a good attack draw in a short field, and a couple of those tries from last summer might not be too far off something competitive with these.
#1 Morally Complex	Think she should find a really nice trip from the inside here while turning back to a sprint trip, and she showed enough pace going short in the past to suggest she won't be totally outrun on the cutback.
#2 Xtreme Diva	She finished up OK in that turf try last fall at Keeneland, and she can probably bring something better today while going second off the break.
Race Summary	I'm curious enough about Feather Inthe Wind to take a shot at a midrange price. Those Emerald starts last summer might transfer OK here if she's ready to roll off the bench.

Canterbury Park - Race #8

#10 Score Mccoy	Honest finisher showed some life late when switching to the turf, and something similar would keep him competitive again, albeit at something shorter than the 92/1 offering last out.
#11 Star Mission	Top pair both have some midrange price appeal, as this one tracked and looked in a good spot but never really quickened from there -- could be something more serious in the tank with that comeback race under his belt.
#1 Commissioner Oscar	His A-game would likely handle these, but I wouldn't want to be here at too short a price in what feels like a fairly competitive spot.
Race Summary	Score Mccoy has some solid finishing form, and I'm hoping he'll get a slightly easier run of things today to bridge the slight gap between him and #8 High Ransom from the last one.

**Can'tPickAWinner** · 07-12-2025, 09:15 AM

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Gulfstream Park - Race #5

#3 IN OTHER WORDS (15-1)	Good fit with clean start, good value at windows, gets in light-weighted.
#7 HONOR HER (9-5)	Gets class relief after pair of photo-finish setbacks and a voided claim.
#10 WANT ALL THE SMOKE (12-1)	Joins class-droppers, wears blinkers, post the concern.
Race Summary	IN OTHER WORDS, plagued by troubled breaks, can ill afford another one on the cutback from a route race to a 5-1/2F sprint. But she faced numerous next-out winners throughout the year and is a solid upper-50 Beyer type when she avoids trouble. Bet to win and place and play a 3-7-10 exacta box.

Gulfstream Park - Race #7

#6 CAJUN ANTHEM (3-1)	Showed a lot of reserve in her first win this year, can use her speed well.
#2 IT’S ONLY WORDS (5-1)	Ran away from ‘Cajun’ two starts back, beaten favorite in latest.
#5 MADNESS (4-1)	Rallied for share in all four 6F sprints at this level in 2025.
Race Summary	CAJUN ANTHEM gets the repeat call against four six-figure earners and two others on the brink in this $6,250 claiming race at 6F. She showed good speed, bumped with a rival to her inside, dueled on the turn and ‘asserted herself’ in the stretch to win at 5-1/2F. Bet to win and place and play 6-2, 6-5 and 2-6 exactas.

Gulfstream Park - Race #3

#8 RACHEL’S SONG (5-2)	Has tactical advantage and looms the value play among the favorites.
#7 LADY CHA CHA (2-1)	Awaited room at key juncture as hard-hitting Let’s Go Koko (9-23, $280k) got away.
#3 STARSHIP BOEING (6-1)	Rallied into pair of photo finishes with similar time off between starts.
Race Summary	RACHEL’S SONG led through a 1:08-4/5 split for 6F before runner-up STARSHIP BOEING and others passed by in a longer route race on turf. But she knows how to win, can control the pace from the outside and get the jump on her main rivals on the switch to the synthetic track. Bet to win and place and play 8-7, 8-3 and 7-8 exactas.

NORTH DAKOTA HORSE PARK JUVENILE SPRINT S. - FOR TWO-YEAR-OLDS. HIGHEST LIFETIME EARNINGS PREFERRED. $500 TO ENTER MUST BE AT LEAST A 5 HORSE FIELD. TWO-YEAR-OLDS.122 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 1 RECKLESS STAR 1/1
# 5 WINHI 9/5
# 2 WILD WHISKEY GIRL 15/1

I give my vote to RECKLESS STAR here. Has performed very well as of late in sprint races, posting a nifty 57 avg Equibase Speed Figure. Looks very good to be close to the front end at the first call. Has to be given a chance - I like the numbers from the last contest. WINHI - He looks very good in this slot and I expect will be on the front end or close at the midpoint. Must be given a chance given the class of races run lately. WILD WHISKEY GIRL - Is hard not to examine given the company run in recently.

QUARTER HORSE 350Y, FOR MAIDENS, FILLIES AND MARES THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE YEARS OLD. THREE YEAR OLDS, 126 LBS.; OLDER, 128 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 6 KELLI GIRL 5/2
# 2 FABULOUS DIVA 5/1
# 5 CC REL FAST 9/2

KELLI GIRL looks to be a respectable contender. Has to be considered - I like the figs from the last contest. Has a solid shot in this race if you like back class. She has to be given consideration given the formidable speed numbers. FABULOUS DIVA - Her 65 average has this mare with among the best Speed Figures for this event. Ought to go to the lead and should never look back. CC REL FAST - Could beat this field given the 68 speed fig posted in her last outing.

#5 BAD OBSESSION (ML=3/1)

BAD OBSESSION - Panici was aboard this colt last race out and was impressed enough to take the animal right back. The June 21st event at Gulfstream Park was at a class level of (81). Dropping to a lower class rank significantly, so he should be in a good position. Just see his last fig, 65. That one fits well in this group. Has a pretty good chance to break maiden moving over to the main track in this race.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 SPIT THE BIT (ML=9/5), #8 VEKOWIN (ML=5/2), #1 RELENTLESS RAIDER (ML=6/1),

SPIT THE BIT - Finished second in his most recent performance with a mediocre speed figure. When I look at today's class rating, it would take an improved performance to win after that in this bunch. VEKOWIN - This gelding earned a speed figure in his last event which probably isn't good enough in today's race. RELENTLESS RAIDER - The fourth place finish in the last event was not the greatest. This gelding recorded a speed fig in his last race which probably isn't good enough in today's event.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Bet on #5 BAD OBSESSION to win if we can get at least 1/1 odds
EXACTA WAGERS:	5 with 2
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Pass
SUPERFECTA WAGERS:	None

#2 VENEZUELAN FAITH (ML=5/2)
#1 TIVERTON (ML=12/1)

VENEZUELAN FAITH - This gelding is in nice physical condition. Finished first on June 20th. This gelding is obviously on the improve with speed figs of 58, 62, 64 last 3 out. TIVERTON - Trainer Delacruz Mejia moves this horse down the class ladder to face a lower class of horses. Look for a strong race given this drop. This equine didn't run well on a track listed as good in his last race at Horseshoe Indianapolis. You probably should overlook that effort.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 JAY VEE BEE (ML=7/2), #4 JACKSON'S ROAR (ML=9/2), #3 NO PROOF (ML=5/1),

JAY VEE BEE - Difficult to put any cash on this gelding on the win end. Likes to end up on the board though. Notched a most unsatisfactory speed figure in the last race in a $12,500 Claiming race on Apr 6th. Not likely to see an improved performance off of that rating. JACKSON'S ROAR - Mediocre speed rating last out at Belterra Park at 1 mile 70 yards. Don't think this vulnerable equine will improve too much today. NO PROOF - When examining today's class rating, he will have to notch a better speed fig than in the last race to be competitive in this turf route.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	#2 VENEZUELAN FAITH is the play if we get odds of 7/5 or better
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [1,2]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	None
