Awesome Again Stakes

[prist]

Six horses are coming out of the Pacific Classic. DEFUNDED was expected to perform the best out of that group if you use the betting market as a guide. Is one bad number enough to alter that forecast? ML says: No. I tend to agree. He had run seven consecutive Thoro-Graph 1\'s before his last race. Could prove tough to catch if he finds himself on the lead, and the rail (1w1w).

What about National Treasure with the hood off,  I could not figure which one BB wants to go to the front, figuring Defunded with sit off the pace since Nat. Treasure runs better on the front end?

Senor Buscador looks like he will run well also, and will be using both Bb horses and Stiletto Boy also in the horizontals. Good luck prist and everyone else.

Senor Buscador is the clear play at that price.

I bet Slow Down Andy last race, not taking 8/5 on this horse that obviously figures.

Nat\'l Treasure still hasn\'t got back to his 3YO top

Skinner and Stiletto Boy can hit the board at a price...possibly the 6 too

Slow Down Andy won that easy, gave up on him because of the jock, would never send the horse, and then decides a good day to let him run and sends him to the front.
Pace was solid, final time seems solid, contender at ten furlongs?

Have not watched all the replays for the card yet, but on the or very near the front was where you wanted to be, Senor Buscador ran a better race than it looked ,if there was a bias in the track from the rain. Will be interesting what the track conditions will be for the BC weekend.
