Yesterday’s Recap – We had a major flop yesterday with our two horses not hitting the ticket and #2 Star Of The Show who I thought would bounce back nicely, did not.    The trifecta of 6/9/5 returned $212.75

Breakdown:

Race 13: #4 BOYROCKTHEFARM had to come from way back last week in the Series final and narrowly missed in the end.  He gets a good draw for the first time in a few starts, his final times say he is ready against this class.

#7 ROSE RUN URIAH has won two of his last four starts and has handled all adversity thus far pretty well.  He is a speedy gelding that likes to move off of the gait.  Look for him to be leaving early and battling on at the end.

#9 QUICK ARACACHE gets a tough draw but is dropping down in class after some tough efforts against Sire Stakes company.  When he drops in class he is normally close to hitting the ticket.  Expect a decent trip here.

#8 HESACAT is another class dropper that really does well when he is down in class.  He has a little bit of early speed to contend with and has been facing some fierce company in the Indiana Sire Stakes.  Widger is back in the bike tonight, maybe.

#2 OMEGA CAT has not been drawing that great over the past couple of starts, but finally is in a position to score from the inside.  When he is on or near the lead, he is a solid contender.
