TGJB---
Just a suggestion for ROTW; Atto Mile is an unusual turf race in that it goes at a mile around 1 turn. The race historically produces box car exactas and likely entry WANDO will be way overbet.
Thanks,

It was interesting to learn that trainer Keogh is using this race as a prep to decide if W.Ando will take on the Euros in the BC Mile. Bringing in NASCAR driver Geoffry Bodine to do the draw, moreover, resulted in a much better post for W.Ando than he had in his last.

I love handicapping this race. Got real lucky last year when Chopinnina barely lasted for second behind Good Journey and survived a stewards inquiry. Not sure about a 3yo, though very talented, cutting back from mile and a half and trying to tackle tough, older milers.
Good luck,
Joe B.

*** As I write this the sky\'s are threatening but I don\'t believe any significant rain will fall in Toronto .
The turf course should be very firm - as we haven\'t had rain in awhile .
I think Todd kabel will exact some revenge today on his earlier mistake this year , picking Mobil over Wando in the Queen\'s Plate. To me Soaring Free is the real deal . His connections excel on the turf - the wide post shouldn\'t be a problem as he has the speed to sit off Chopinina and it\'s a long run to the turn .
Wando is an absolute , with both hands - BET AGAINST .
A few other observations :
6th race - I think Volga will be overbet - 5yo with an iffy line . If the course favors speed - Ginger Gold off her last could be tough .
8th Race - If Kabel can give Battlements a hustling ride early from the fence he could last for a big piece .

Thanks for the heads up. Made a nice exacta score boxing the Drysdale horses, Tap the Admiral and Soaring Free.

Nice call. SOARING FREE ran his eyeballs out; caught a generous exacta payoff with razor sharp \'Blues.
Thanks,
