I\'ll be working Monmouth on Wed and then will lead The All-Star Buglers in our 7th appearance at the BC on both Fri and Sat.
Traffic on Rt 36 is supposed to be routed as such (still awaiting an official):
BOTH sides (EB and WB) will be one way streets. All traffic will be headed towards the track before the races and all traffic will be directed away from the track after the races.
Pletcher should win the classic with either Lawyer Ron or Any Given Saturday. I say this because in my years working at MP, I have always had great handicapping success - until this year where I was virtually blanked. I think the new surface is to blame (could also be many other factors LOL) and so I am going with the \"horse for course angle\". (Kinda wish the BC was at the Meadowlands this year where I have had an unusually successful meet). I\'ve also been notoriously unsuccesful handicapping the BC in years past, so this year I\'m due. It helps that I\'ve been \"on a roll\" of late, scoring with Forty Crowns (13-1) at the Maryland Million, and then again with Carnival Chrome (huge overlay at 3-1) in the West Virginia Breeders Classic. I think I\'ll get a square price on AGS and LR. Have yet to handicap the rest of the card, but English Channel is another \"horse for course\".
Good luck and safe trips to all!
