wow, Snack is getting some serious early play.

4-1 and 9-2 on the speedballs.

It probably isn\'t just early money.  Snack is 2nd shortest pick 3 and 3rd shortest double.  

The GP Handicap looks like the better betting race to me.  Zakocity has paired up \"0\"\'s and has good tactical speed.  Can sit just off of either Kennel UP or Classic Endeavor.  

Boxing Zakocity with Contante and Eddington and taking 8-1 on a horse who is just a tad slower than Eddington.

i\'m taking contante. should get a perfect rail trip breaking from post three. have to box with eddi. i like CE, but 2-1 from post 8 is a bit low.

My Picks for the heck of it:

Santa Catalina: #5 Going Wild #5-2-6
GP Hcp #8 Classic Endevor #8-7-1-2

Snack has everything right about him for the circumstances. I don\'t know what the track is doing though. I\'m comtemplating taking him though.

Then again I may just watch. This is a GREAT race for sorting these out.

I think Spanish is gonna be on a contested lead to Going Wild and DeClans working it close and Snack making a late move if hes ready. (I think he will be) Theres just not enough value here and I\"m gonna watch..but what a great race.

I think Spanish Chestnut gets away from them all.  Looking for him to move forward big.

good luck

no money to be made, but i love this horse. 3w/3w in 1:42.4 not bad. i don\'t see anybody close.

That will be the last time DeClan\'s Moon beats Going Wild.....party is over.

Great Race.

ctc,
yes, you are correct. after watching declan jog around the track like that, lucas won\'t try another exercise in futility. he will stay way from declan...... declan is bred to run for miles, its scary.

Considering the trainer admitted that Declan wasn\'t 100% coming in, this was a pretty good comeback effort. I came pretty close to taking Going Wild at this price, but fortunately I passed. I was a little surprised that Going Wild made no attempt for the lead.

[Michael D.]

now for the bad news, snack broke his leg in a few places.

[Chuckles_the_Clown2]

lol i\'d watch again Class...Going Wild had a Derby Type trip in some respects....he got between styles and is gonna be a handful next time at 9 marks and then beyond. DeClans is a professional, maybe they\'ll be better odds to beat him at next time.

DeClans will never win again. Guaranteed.

ctc,
OJ will find the real killers before GW runs a fast race beyond 9f.

GW got as perfect a trip as is possible (other than perhaps a loose lead in a slow pace) and he couldn\'t beat Declan today.

I understand that versatility is a good thing long run though.

Personally, I thought Declan might be slightly vulnerable today because he wouldn\'t be 100% unless the trainer is an idiot. From here, he\'s only going to get better. That leaves 10F and how much he develops from here relative to the rest of the crop as the question marks. He certainly did nothing wrong today.
