I know what you mean, Nick. The 12 also has some distance on the dam’s side and that is what I look for. Maybe it will get a piece of this but since it was beaten by Bob and John and Brother Derek I threw it out. This race is really wide open so it is just as well to go with the voices.
Mine tell me Oh So Awesome is going to do well today and that last race was a conditioning race. On the other hand there are others that look like they have better chances based on the level of competition they have faced and their trainers. Speaking of trainers, I do respect Hoffmans in here.
It seems one of us should get something since we are picking three different horses to key on and each of those has a good shot here. A betting service sent me an email about keying Jazil on top and what a great bet it was. It also touted Steppenwolfer. Time will tell. Fortunately I don’t have to make a living handicapping races like this. I had the winner and exacta in the Preakness, but I’ve bet it all back on this race.
