Dear
Readers,
Oh dear they just get harder to pick. I
will never get through all these races. But I will try. Next up:
Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile
1
Taptowne
– Clearly
a front runner. But I’m not going to be able to back this horse in this race,
there’s to much speed.
2
Golden
Ticket – This is a very nice horse, a horse I would love to own, but
I don’t think he has a clear chance in this field of fierce competitors.
3
Hymn
Book – Yet another very nice horse, and again I can’t pick him to
win this race.
4
Brujo
de Olleros – Lightly raced five-year-old.
5
Fed Biz
– Could
surprise.
6
Broadway
Empire – Alright I get it, this horse has been winning in easier
company, while blazing away on the front end. But winning can become a ego
boosting exercise and can become habitual. He may not win, but he may well
become the spoiler in this race, like he did in the Affirmed Handicap. At 12-1
odds I might be tempted to take a flyer.
7
Alpha –
This
horse has made a lot of money and is undoubtedly a good one. But it appears to
me he likes an uncontested lead, something he won’t get in this race.
8
Holy
Lute – Someday this could be a great horse, but I don’t think he’s
ready for this bunch. But then again why not, he could be.
9
Centralinteligence
– Spotty
career, but clearly when he’s right, he’s a force to be reckoned with.
10
Verrazano
– Whoa
what happened in that last race? I really wanted to like this horse, and I do.
But maybe not today.
11
Pants
On Fire – Now were talking, this horse goes out to give his best every
time.
12
Goldencents
– Well
he doesn’t have to go up against Points Offthebench again. I like this horse in
this race, and especially going this distance.
13
Easter
Gift – Not sure I could get behind this horse to win this race.
Got to
make up my wish list.
1
Goldencents – love
this horse today.
2
Pants
on Fire
3
Broadway
Empire
This is
a lot of work, so many good horses, so few slots to fill, so many opportunities
to get it wrong.
Take
care,
Shelley
