Cox was not firing on all cylinders during this horse\'s last two attempts.
The week before Labor Day, Cox started firing again, this one ends up at Parx and can\'t be ignored all together. But I\'m going to look elsewhere for most of my play on this race.
I prefer Clicquot who on debut was even money, set a ridiculous half and quit. Since then she\'s done nothing wrong. Her last in July was a win that was expected and not against a great field. But she was inside of horses for most of the BS handling it well and also in the T; tipped out and ran on very well to win. A Walden horse came back to win at Ellis although it wasn\'t a flashy number.
In the meantime, she has works available for review for yourselves with Gosger in August and trained eyes better than me can judge how to rate that work. It is very encouraging to my eye based on Gosger\'s talent level although hard to say how much he was asked. Definitely worth the watch for yourself before you decide to wager. Then, she also has one video of work showing where she worked with a 65 Beyer filly who she destroyed before one heck of a gallop out to the BS to be ready for the distance/layoff. Irad\'s 2 for 2 with her and leaves Saffie\'s Indy Bay for this mount. I think there is more in the tank than the PP\'s show based on IndOaks and works, I get a very large field by today\'s standards and some very big names to ensure a solid price. I\'m a touch nervous she gets lower than 6-1 b/c of Irad but I don\'t think so with Good Cheer, La Cara, and Scottish Lassie.
I\'ll take her in the win pool. I\'m against Scottish Lassie altogether if the field stays together. I\'m interested in using Good Cheer with Cox, Dry Powder, and La Cara in the tri along with Clicquot. But over half my wager will be on Clicquot to win.
Good Luck and if it is a Good Cheer and Clicquot exacta in either order, I promise I\'ll also be wishing you all a Shout of Joy and Champagne Cheers Toast to those so inclined (not I at this time)!
The takeout at Parx is hard to stomach but with the large field, this will be my one Parx wager for the year.
