Wondering what you guys think on some of these stakes races. Here's my thoughts:
Alsheba Stakes
To me this is a weird race since the 3-1 & 9-2 morning line horses have serious ? marks with the layoffs.
I'm also fading Macho b/c of the short price, but think overall the race seems to set up well for him.
I've got Nate's Mineshaft on top. Love the #3 & #10 for the exotics.
American Turf Stakes
Definitely a betting race with the two best horses in the #13 & #14 holes. The #14 doesn't like the outside at all.
I think Gung Ho could be in line for a big race here, as the horse has improved steadily over his career. Also, Star Channel could take this despite the big step up. I like his style in this race and he clearly has the potential for big time speed on the grass.
I'll put them on top of #10 and #13 & #14 since they're too good to completely throw out.
Might also throw a little on Scatman as a long-shot based on that 101 beyer and the Turf rating suggesting he might factor. Hate the recent decline though.
Oaks
Win bet already locked in on Summer Applause. Think the filly has major ability and the race sets up well for her. To me it's between her and On Fire Baby. I don't get the fascination with Grace Hall.
To be able to lock-in 15-1 on her in the Sportsbook b/c of the morning line is absolutely ridiculous value.
Can't find any free DRF PPs for the Edgewood. If someone has a link to it, that'd be great.
