BEST BET–CHURCHILL RACE 10—# 11 LONE CYPRESS.
OK, its a Maiden Claimer, the last race on the card, there are a TON of big races coming up in the next 2 days and Garrett Gomez stays around to ride this horse for Al Stall. Something tells me that this guy is live today.
NEXT BEST–CHURCHILL RACE 8—# 5 LA MOUSSE(TURF ONLY).
This filly has had 2 very nice races over this surface and fits todays race very well. I am NOT very happy about Albarado riding her again(only 1 win out of 4 tries), but I think her talent is that good to overcome the problems that Albarado may find here. Very good numbers coming in to todays race and nice works over in Lexington.
VALUE BET—CHURCHILL RACE 9–# 9 GATOR PROWL.
A Grade III for 2 yr olds, a first shot at Black Type–and at Churchill, where these guys want to be a year from now. A few nice horses that scored over at Keeneland, but were not on “the wires and tires” today. GATOR PROWL ran a real bang up race ON DIRT over at Laurel winning by 11+ lengths, a very impressive score. He will be on the outside, off the dead rail and should make a lot of noise at 5/1 or more.
