The winner earns an robot starting spot in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) on Nov. 6 at Churchill Downs.

Warrior’s Reward is the 5/2 morning line favorite, but has only made one career start over a synthetic surface, a fifth position finish in the Perryville (G3) at Keeneland last fall.

The $400,000 Darley Alcibiades (G1) drew a field of eight two-year-old fillies, with a starting spot in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) on Nov 5 up for grabs.

Wickedly Perfect ships in from Southern California for the Doug O’Neill barn. The filly won the Sorrento (G3) in August and most recently was second in the Darley Debutante (G1) on Sept. 4.

Keeneland Race 8 The Phoenix G3 (4:45 ET)

#9 Ez Dreamer   6/1

#7 Hollywood Hit   4/1

#5 Warrior’s Reward   5/2

#11 Canonize   4/1

Analysis: #9 Ez Utopian was a game third in this course last year, beaten justifiable 3/4 of a length for the top spot. It was his first try on the fake stuff, and while he does not seem to be coming into this year’s race in the same silhouette, he did get a useful prep out of a runner up put the final touches on carry on replaced at Zia Store, which was off identically a three month break. Two requital he was sixth in the Iowa Sprint Handicap, which turned out to be a good field. The champion was Majesticperfection, who returned to win the A.G. Vanderbilt (G1) in impressive style at Saratoga on Aug. 8, but an injury has knocked him out of contention for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1). Our top pick should move hurry and if he takes to the poly like he did last year he fits well here and the price should be right.

#7 Hollywood Hit is coming off a win at Woodbine in the King Corrie, although he on the other hand had to clobber three foes in the deed. He has now won seven of 13 career starts and 5 of 7 over the polytrack. The gelding owns the edge in early and mid pace numbers and could shake loose here, but it’s important to see how this surface is playing today, as speed frequently does not hold well.

#5 Warrior’s Reward has been facing tougher and is coming dippy a fourth place finish in the Forego (G1) at the Spa. He won the Carter Handicap (G1) four back prevailing seven furlongs, but he is wounding back to six here. His lone go on the counterfeit stuff was a fifth part finish in the Perryville (G3) here last fall. A tough call because I his running style for this surface and he should get a good pace, but does he yen to go throughout poly? In addition, the price is going to be on the light side.

Oct 08 2010 in Horse Racing

Horse Racing

The highly regarded Warrior’s Reward is going off at underlaid morning data horse racing odds to win the Grade III Phoenix on Keeneland’s opening day this Friday, Oct. 8th.

Warrior’s Recompense, the Grade I Carter Handicap title-holder, definitely deserves favoritism in the Form III Phoenix, but he doesn’t deserve 5/2 favoritism. He’s a definite play against for the win slot in my mind.

TV: TVG

Phoenix Stakes (Grade III)
Purse $175,000. (Includes $25,000 – BC – Breeders’ Cup). For Three-Year-Olds And Upward.
6 furlongs over all-weather Polytrack

8 – Super Robusto – 15/1 morning line odds

Super Robusto has never blow over the Keeneland Poly but he’s 2 – for 2 over with the Arlington Car park Polytrack and he’s been training decently in the mornings. This horse isn’t as cheap as some muscle think as he was purchased for $140,000 at the 2007 Keeneland September Sale.

Trainer Wayne Catalano is an underrated horseman and there’s plenty of speed in this to set up his minute closing kick. At the horse racing odds, he’s the equal to think hither for the win money in this.

11– Canonize – - 4/1 morning line odds

TVG analyst and again trainer Ron Ellis saddles this son of Aldebaran in the Grade III Phoenix on Friday. Canonize has a 3-1-1 relate out of 5 lifetime races over all-weather surfaces meaning that she should have no issues handling the Keeneland Poly.

The horse is also 3 and 1 out of 4 races at this distance and has every right to win over the surface as the more highly touted Warrior’s Reward.

7 – Hollywood Occur to – - 4/1 morning line odds

I absolutely love the feelings shown by this brilliant 4-yearold gelding sired at near – Cactus Line. Hollywood Stumble has won 7 out of 13 lifetime races and finished 2nd in 3 of the rest of the 13.

He’s 5 and 2 out of 9 races at the distance, has been busting bullets in the morning, and loves the Polytrack surface having recorded 5 victories over Woodbine’s Poly up in Ontario.

He might also be the speed of the speed but hanging on for a victory might not be in the cards because he should be pressed from the outset. Still, if he keeps his horse racing odds, I’ll be tempted to put some money on this guy to win.

Horse Wagering Strategy

Super Robusto may look cheap on paper but all signs point to him running a beefy race in the Nz hack III Phoenix on Friday. He’s worth a shot to incline and place.

I will also frequency Wonderful Robusto in an exacta over Hollywood Hit, Canonize, and likely chalk 5-Warrior’s Reward.

Finally, I will bet a trifecta with Super Robusto, Canonize, Hollywood Hit, with Super Robusto, Canonize, Hollywood Hit, 5-Warrior’s Guerdon, with Super Robusto, Canonize, Hollywood Hit, 5-Warrior’s Pay, 3-Wise Dan, 6-Moralist.

Good luck!

Breeders’ Cup Classic 2010 – Blame’s Breeders Cup Betting Odds Unaffected

Oct 07 2010 in Horse Racing

Horse Racing

Blame’s Breeders Cup betting odds were unaffected by his loss in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Horse racing enthusiasts tumble to that a one-turn 1 ¼ mile race at Belmont Park is much different than a 1 ¼ mile race going two-turns at Churchill Downs.

Because of that, Condemnation is still at +500 in the horse racing sportsbook to win on Nov. 6th. Lookin’ At Lucky, who prepped in a Grade III hurry at Indiana Downs model Saturday, is a clear-cut 2nd choice futures book wagering.

[Off topic: generally the way, do you want to get a 55% bonus on your first deposit here at BetUS? If so JOIN ONCE IN A BLUE MOON. ]

Who is the fave? The Queen, of course, Zenyatta, who ran her unbeaten tear to 19. One horse that isn’t offering odds just yet, but will have to be considered is Morning Line. The Pennsylvania Derby conqueror shows up 7th on my rankings. Aeons ago his Breeders Cup betting odds are established, don’t worry, he’s going to fly up my chart.

Breeders Cup Superior

Where: Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky

When: November 6th, 2010

TV: NBC

B. C. Classic Power Rankings

  1. Zenyatta +250 – - Zenyatta won her 19th the dogs in a row by running down a seriously good horse in Switch last Saturday. She simply plays with her competition and although Old Fetter Beyer, the guy who created the outdated Beyer Speed Figures, doesn’t believe that she’s a “great horse” because she’s runs slow times, 19 in a row is 19 in a row. The Queen is just the best and figures to prove it on Nov. 6th.
  1. Scold +500 – - The overlay bet on my rankings remains Blame who couldn’t make up any set on the loose on the lead Haynesfield in the Jockey Baton Gold Cup this on Saturday. Again, that step on it was at a one-turn mile. He’s going to go two-turns at Churchill Downs. I saw the JCGC as a great prep for this guy who loves the Duplicate Spires. Blame is going off at overlaid Breeders Cup betting odds in my impression to win the Classic.
  1. Supremacy Street +500 – - He only just lost to Blame at Saratoga and Saratoga’s dirt course played goofy all summer long. So, I’m giving him a Mulligan for that. He’s still the best speed horse in the nation, maybe the world, and deserves his Top 3 ranking. I’m worried about Todd Pletcher training him up to the toughest race of his life, however.
  1. Lookin’ At Lucky +400 – - Who did he beat in the Indiana Derby this late Saturday? Filth. Who did he beat in the Haskell Invitational? Garbage. Who did he beat in the Preakness? Crap. Okay, Trappe Hastily, who finished 2nd to Lucky in the Haskell, is a good horse, but First Man about town is still a 1 victory three-year-old and Thiskyhasnolimit, who finished 2nd at Indiana, is a Grade III pony at best. Still Lucky has, a nice closing style that should work at Churchill Downs. I’m just not happy about the Breeders Cup betting odds.
  1. Rip Van Winkle +1600 – - I know that he’s not bred to spate over dirt, I gad about get that, but he’s a seriously good horse and the odds are unquestionably nice. I have to give Ballydoyle trainer Aidan O’Brien the benefit of the doubt and utter that if Rip Van Winkle shows up on Nov. 6th, then has to be considered. That’s just the motion I see it.
  1. Haynesfield +700 – - The victory in the Jockey Club Gold Cup was awesome, but he faces other charge, in the long run Morning Line and Quality Road, on Nov. 6th and I just don’t believe he’s gong to enjoy having to run with those guys. Quality Road already put a rout down on him this past summer and Todd Pletcher trains both horses. So…we shall see what happens, but don’t be surprised if this guy ends up in a race other than the classic.
  1. Morning Line (No Odds) – Man, he looked like his daddy, Tiznow, versus Sahkee in the 2001 BC Classic when getting passed by A Little Warm but then – not giving up and running by that one to the wire in the Pennsylvania Derby. AP Indy is on this guy’s bottom. So, he can definitely get the 1 ¼ miles and theBreeders Cup betting odds, once they’re set, drive most likely make him an overlay.
  1. Fly Down +1500 – - He doesn’t triumph very on numerous occasions, but the talent is there. If Zito can get him to presentation his tyrannical best on Nov. 6th, then he power have a shot considering the likely pace scenario. He should get a jump over and beyond the stone cold closers and he has the speed to stay with the front-runners. Who knows?
  1. Espoir City +1400 – This gink is – a serious racehorse. I’d give birth to him much higher on my list if I knew for a fact that the Japanese were booming to beat a hasty retreat him. Unlike the Euros, this fella is a conventional dirt horse. He’s won 6 out of 8 with 5 out of the 6 being Grade I victories. He’s a front running talent that could further away with it if the American speedsters aren’t wary of him.
  1. A Little Warm +4000 – - I love the Breeders Cup betting odds and A Unimaginative Cheerful looked very good against Morning Line in the Pennsylvania Derby. Sure, there’s a huge chance that he just doesn’t want to run 1 ¼ miles, but I have faith that if trainer Richard Dutrow enters him, then he’s considered that possibility and has decided that he’s ready for the extra distance. He’s worth giving a chance to just based on Dutrow’s involvement.

The idea appropriate for a single championship heyday of a racing was introduced back in 1982 at Keeneland on horse owner and breeder John R.

Likely Horse Racing Odds on Big Jerome Make Him the Play

Oct 06 2010 in Horse Racing

Horse Racing

The likely horse racing odds on Big Jerome make him the play to win Belmont’s 7th on Oct. 6th.

Big Jerome doesn’t have the quickness ratings that some of his other contenders in this do, namely chalk B B Frank, but there are a division of reasons to like Pompously Jerome.   Keep reading to find out what those reasons are.  

Belmont Park  - Wednesday

Where:  Belmont Greensward – Race 7
When:  Oct. 6th, 2010 at 4:11 pm EST
TV:  TVG and HRTV

Claiming $20,000

Purse $26,000. For Three-Year-Olds And Upward Which Have planned Not Won A Race On the Turf Since April 3.

6 furlongs on inner turf

9 – Big Jerome – - 6/1 morning line odds

The horse racing odds on Big Jerome announce him absolutely no respect.   He’s a much better horse than those 6/1 morning line odds indicate.   The 8 old-fangled of 41 lifetime winner goes back to the 6 furlong distance after running in routes since August of 2009.   He hasn’t run since June of this year but in that race Big Jerome showed good speed before fading and finishing 4th.   Now, he picks up 18% winning jock at the meet Rajiv Maragh and goes back to a turf surface that he absolutely loves.   Big Jerome has a 4-1-1 record out of 8 starts on Belmont Park’s toss.   If trainer Timothy Hills has him ready, he should find a way to not only get into the net in this but possibly win it.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 55% remuneration on your in the beginning deposit here at BetUS? If so JOIN NOW. ]

1– B B Frank – 2/1 morning line odds

Trainer Rudy Rodriguez is back to dominating at Belmont Park.   The trainer is winning at a 40% clip and starts B B Frank for the second time this meet.   There are a couple of things to consider before dumping on this guy to obtain at low horse racing odds, though.   First, B B Frank is taking a huge step up in class from the $7,500 level in this.   Second B B Frank is coming, off of a top speed rating that he acquired while running over Belmont’s dirt.   Although the horse has had success on the turf before, speed doesn’t always translate from dope to turf and B B Frank might find the step up in class difficult to practise with.

7 – Southern Exchange – - 7/2 morning line odds

This guy has burned a hole in my keep in 3 straight races.   He might burn another hole in my pocket on Wednesday because, if ever again, I’m finding it hard to decent leave him mouldy all of my tickets.   Southern Exchange does requital to a surface he’s had success over, he ran on low-down in his last, and he has enough speed to stay close to the front runners if need be before unleashing his closing rebound.   Trainer Richard Dutrow used to own the horse but he ended up having only of his owners seek Southern Exchange in the horse’s last.   Now, Dutrow just trains it.  

Horse Wagering Strategy

I assume that Big Jerome is a nice overlaid horse at the morning heritage horse racing odds to no hope with a win and consider bet.

I leave also venture an exacta with Beg Jerome onto Southern Exchange and B B Explicit.   I will reverse the exacta for less.

Good chances!

Oak Tree Picks – Huge Horse Racing Odds

Oct 02 2010 in Horse Racing

Horse Racing

Trying to beat Zenyatta clout sound like a ridiculously stupid thing to do, but it’s also the way to money out on a Pick 4 at huge horse racing odds this Saturday at Oak Tree at Hollywood Greensward.

I don’t believe that beating Zenyatta will brook someone to “scoop” the pool.   There will be more than one, maybe more than one-hundred, tickets out there trying to palpitate the John Shireff’s trained superstar mare, but taking her down is the way to go in order to cash the biggest possible Pick 4 ticket on Saturday.

Of course, my cajones aren’t big enough for me to drop the 18 and 0 mare from my ticket altogether.   I’m not insane, a bit crazy on the Heisenberg (Breaking Unfortunate level maybe, but not insane on the Dexter or Arvin Sloane (Alias) level.

1 1/16th miles over all-weather cushion track

Horses Used: pp. 1-Switch, pp. 5-Zenyatta, pp. 6-Emmy Darling

Analysis:  Zenyatta should definitely get this race and I doubt she loses but just in case I’m going to profit by Switch who won the Rank II Hollywood Oaks over this interface back in June over top-rated three-year-old Blind Luck.   I’m also going to use Emmy Darling who goes to trainer Doug O’Neil representing the beginning measure and picks up jockey Patrick Valenzuela.   Again, Zenyatta should net, but just in case, I’ll throw in 2 other horses.

Analysis:  Gypsy’s Warning is the class of this – field and shouldn’t lose this race. She’s almost a single in my determine after finishing 3rd in the Beverly D. against much better.   The Grade I champ from South Africa should relish the turf at Hollywood Park.   Hibaayeb runs for the powerful Godolphin barn.   She wouldn’t be in this unless trainer Saeed Bin Suroor though she could win it.   She too is incredibly classy having won a Grade I race at Ascot last September.

Analysis:  Crown Of Thorns tries 2 turns for the first time.   Based on his breeding, sired by Repent pass of a Compare with Gold mare, he should absolutely love the stretch-out.   He’s find the put up in 6 out of his 7 races including finishing 2nd in 3 straight Grade I events.   He’s obviously talented enough to win the Goodwood on Saturday.   Twirling Candy is one of the best bib three-year-olds in the country.   He’s undefeated in 4 races and has won 2 of those over an all-weather surface and 2 of those over turf.   He could probably run over lens and get in the money.   Twirling Candy’s jockey, Mike Smith, could win the Lady’s Secret/Goodwood double if he brings Zenyatta home in the 7th.

Blame Ready to Solidify BC Wagering Favoritism in the Jockey Club Gold Cup

Oct 02 2010 in Horse Racing

Horse Racing

We’re only in all directions a month away from the 2010 Breeders Cup and horseplayers should be working on that Breeders’ Cup wagering scheme suited for this year’s slate of championship races.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 55% bonus on your first deposit here at BetUS? Find disused more exciting details HERE. ]

That strategy could come into focus even more after this Saturday when older horses lure to the Belmont racing divest oneself of for the 2010 Jockey Club Gold Cup.   The Jockey Club Gold Cup will be without Mark Road, arguably the best older mans horse in the United States, because his trainer, Todd Pletcher, has decided to train his star up to the race meeting.

,

But the horse that beat Quality Road during the summer at Saratoga, Blame will run in this Saturday’s Jockey Mace Gold Cup.   Let’s take a look at the entrants for the Jockey Club Gold Cup on Oct. 2nd.

Grade I Jockey Club Gold Cup

Belmont Put  - Saturday

Where:  Belmont Park – Race 10

When:  Oct. 2nd, 2010 at 5:48 pm EST

TV:  TVG and HRTV

Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes (Grade I)

Purse $750,000. Throughout Three-Year-Olds And Upward.

1 ¼ miles over dirt

  1. Fly Down 9/2 – - Could Zito have another excellent contender for the BC Classic in this son of Mineshaft?   The Dwyer conquering hero returns to Belmont Park where he has had great celebrity but before dumping on him, horseplayers should really look at his 2nd place death in the Travers with an intent eye.   Saratoga’s racecourse may have flattered him somewhat.   That would explain the terrific speed rating he garnered dead of that race.   He’s a tough horse to side with against an equine like Blame at 9/2 odds.
  2. Blame 8/5 – - This guy should already be a part of everybody’sBreeders Cup wagerin g strategy.   Blame is guilelessly the most superbly horse in the nation after Zenyatta.   He’s won 8 out of 11 and proved in the Whitney that he could run down a top-notch horse like Quality Road even if he has to hunt soft fractions.   It doesn’t matter what the pace is, how he breaks, or whether or not his connections are using this race as a prep respecting the gigantic one in November.   Blame should form the second place finisher in this near his usual 1 to 1 ½ lengths.
  3. Mythical Power 10/1 – - This Bob Baffert trainee turned his form around in the Grade I Woodward when finishing 2nd to Quality Street but that race lacked a horse of Blame’s quality.   Mythical Power is a fair horse and should be considered in search the exotics at those terrific 10/1 morning line odds, but expecting him to beat a horse like Blame is expecting too much.
  4. Cool-headed Manner 15/1 – - He’s been getting better and better and promptly has a 3rd place finish in a Grade I race, the Woodward, on his resume.   I like him and wouldn’t be averse to putting him into the tri and the super but there isn’t a fit enormous numbers of speed in here.   So, his closing punt might be compromised.
  5. Dry Martini 15/1 – - I’m confused as to why he’s even entered in the Jockey Club Gold Cup.   It’s as if his connections are grabbing for something, anything sheer after the turf experiment, where Witty Martini ran twice over the sod, went horribly wrong.   Counting his second place drubbing at the hands of Quality Road in the Donn Handicap this past February, Dry Martini has now lost his last 3 races by a combined 23 ½ lengths.   15/1?   I’ll save my money for theBreeders Cup wagering futures.
  6. Haynesfield 6/1 – - This Steve Asmussen trainee lost all continue without in the Grade I Whitney after he broke through the gate, wasted all of that energy, and then tried to take on Quality Road early on in the race.   He will be much tighter and much tougher on Saturday and 6/1 is a virtual gift considering that his cruising hastiness is better than any other horse’s in this race.   He’s the a person to finish out the exacta in my opinion.
  7. Hold Me Help 7/1 – - He ran like a joke in the Grade I Pacific Classic and that’s a shame because he appears to be better on the plastic than he is on the dirt.   Well, the Jockey Club Gold Cup is run over dust.   So, I won’t be holding my breath expecting him to make a huge run towards the front-runners in this.   He’s yet another underlay in a race crowded of them.
  8. Rail Voyage 5/2 – Jay Em Ess Stables, those who own Rail Trip, must feel that the – horse will be better on dirt.   My thinking is that trainer Ron Ellis, who had him in SoCal, got as much out of this guy as could deo volente be gotten old-time of him and that he beat up on a bunch of soft handicap horses on the West Coast while he was dead there.   I’m obviously not taking 5/2 on him because Fly Down, Blame, and maybe even Haynesfield are better than anything he’s ever faced in his vocation. In a follower chockfull of underlays, this guy is the biggest but that doesn’t mean he can’t finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th in this race because the truth is that nobody knows how good he will be on dirt.

First Place:  Blame
Second Place:  Haynesfield
Third Place:  Rail Trip
Fourth Place:  Flip ones lid Down

Clan 7 Unjustifiable 1)

Blossom Bowl Invitational Stakes (Grade I)

Readies $500,000. For Fillies And Mares ThreeYears-Old – And Upward.

1 ¼ miles over turf

Horses Used: 2-Red Desire, 5-Ave, 7-Shared Account

Horse Betting Analysis: Japanese invader Red Desire will probably go off at even boodle to win this race. She’s 1 for 1 at this distance over the turf, picks up terrific sack jockey Kent Desormeaux and could outclass these. Ave is much better than she showed when finishing 8th in the Grade I Beverly D.

She can stick close to the pace and that should help her in this. Shared Account has finished 1st or 2nd in 6 wrong of her last 7 races. She’s a must use in the Pick 4.

Race 8 Broken-down 2)

Beldame Stakes (Grade I)

,

Purse $350000. Since Fillies And Mares Three-Years-Old And Upward.

1 1/8th miles over dirt

Horses Used: 1-Life At Ten, 4-Unrivalled Belle

Division: The Beldame is the gal version of the Jockey Club Gold Cup and Life At Ten figures to go cancelled as the chalk in it. She will have to assemble fixed Unrivalled Belle, however, and that might not be easy to do. Using both makes the most Pick 4 wagering sensation.

Race 9 (Leg 3)

Joe Hirsch Area Classic Invitational Stakes (Grade I)

Bucks $500,000. For Three-Year-Olds And Upward.

1 ½ miles over turf

Horses Used: 2-Never On Sunday, 3-Solitaire, 6-Bearpath, 7-Telling, 10-Winchester

Analysis: We’ve got to discover value somewhere in this Pick 4. Never On Sunday is 12/1 on the morning engage. Solitaire is 30/1. Bearpath is 6/1. Telling is 8/1 and Winchester is 9/2. Will any one of our longshots beat likely favorites Paddy O’ Prado or Ali Khali? Who knows but taking a shot is what the Pick 4 is all about.

Race 10 Falling apart 4)

Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes (Grade I)

Purse $750,000. For Three-Year-Olds And Upward.

1 1/4th miles over foulness

Horses Toughened: 2-Blame

Breakdown: I would often times look for an overlay in a race like the Jockey Club Gold Cup but in all honesty, Hold responsible should go off at close to even money to win this. There just isn’t a horse as classy or talented as he is in the american football gridiron.

3 x 2 x 5 x 1 = 30 combinations

$1 Pick 4 = $30

Good luck!

Horse Racing Betting – Lots of “Blame” To Go Around?

Oct 02 2010 in Horse Racing

Horse Racing

Horse racing bettors will be wondering whether there will be a lot of Blame to go around on Saturday, when the colt by that name takes to the Belmont Park track and runs in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, with an eye toward placing in the Breeders’ Cup Classic next month at Churchill Downs. In the horse racing betting odds, Lay at someones door, who beat Quality Byway last ever, is the +160 favorite.

Rail Trip doesn’t get one. Okay, I just thought I would get that comment in, because, you be aware, what other chance am I going to have? On a weekend when Lookin’ for Lucky is in the Descent II Indiana Derby and Zenyatta is stationary on the west coast (Oak Tree observe trying to extend her undefeated record, the Jockey Company Gold Cup – a genuine stepping stone toward the Breeders Cup – takes place on Saturday at Belmont Park. The purse is $750,000 and the clear favorite at the moment in the horse racing betting odds is Blame, a winner of five straight races,, the last two at the Grade I level, and the victor as surplus Quality Road on August 7 in the Whitney Disability.

The thing you can say about Blame, trained by Al Stall (how’s that repayment for a racing specify? ) that you can’t say about any other horse in this field is that it has seven straight Beyer Speed Figures at bottom the 100 mark, with the highest coming in the last lineage. the consistency is enough, and there is adequately spell between races, that we really don’t worry too much give a "bounce" for this horse. However, one thing worth noting for anyone involved in horse racing betting is that Blame is making his first start at a mile and a quarter.

To Stall, that is not the least bit troubling. "Everything he has done and factor in his pedigree and his technique I think points to a mile and a quarter," he told the Daily Racing Form.

Looking for challengers? Grammatically, Fly Down is a horse that is familiar requite to a lot of casual fans who happened to follow the Triple Crown races this year. That’s because he came second at the Belmont Stakes, finishing strongly along with eventual winner Drosselmeyer. That came on the heels of a dominant performance in the Dwyer Stakes, also at Belmont, where he vanquished Drosselmeyer. Fly Down has not only been a mile and a quarter, he registered his best Beyer figure to obsolete (105) in his debut at this disassociate, which also happened to be his model start, a loss to Afleet Express by a nose in the Travers Stakes at Saratoga. Without question, this Purloin Zito-trained three-year-old, which will start on the rail, is going to be a threat in this race, and may be priced to move at +450 in the horse racing betting odds.
