DON PEDRO

I Pollara

16/1

The Doc brings his 3yo Danzig colt into this with a shadow roll for the first time.  As of late the hedges have been shedding leaves, and this colt backs up a lot in the stretch.  Seems like he’s very skittish of late when he sees anything moving in front of him.  Doubt if it helps though, as a lot of horses will pass him…shadow roll, no help.

One of my three nags in this that needs more distance.  He’ll be wondering why he can’t get the lead.  I forgot to tell him it’s a couple of furlongs shorter.

THUNDER

20/1

San Antonio/Chicago based trainer hasn’t heard any thunder for awhile.  Usually doesn’t when the temperature is in the teens.  Horse is hampered by the sweater he wears in this kind of climate.

SWINGSHIFT SAL

2/1

Seems like a no-brainer that Swingshift Sal is the one to beat here.  Should whip the snot out of this bunch.  Lady Laura has her team of lawyers present in case of a frivolous jockey objection.

7/1

Newberry, kinda sounds like a kids cereal.  Jock Salisbury’s name fits well here.  41 races and a ho-hum racing style may get a minor check.

Demons are driven into a herd of pigs as per biblical scripture.  However, he is also one of the pigs.

ZIGGY

R Johnston

10/1

I had an uncle named Zigmond.  Everyone called him Ziggy, so this horse does have some sentimental value to me.  He also closes a bit when he forgets his trainer’s name is “peeps”.

LOSING PRIVILAGES(AUS)

My nag that lost his privileges after the last lackluster race.  He will again if he doesn’t run back to his previous form!

MILITANT

Y Feese

7/2

This horse and jockey will be scanned for any electronic equipment before the post parade.  Has been know to be rigged with buzzers and a laser whip so no other horse can pass him.  He has won far too many on the front end until caught with illegal equipment 6 races back.

7/1

Hasn’t run in a long time after the Doc removed one of his testicles by mistake.  However, he may carry his speed further with the extra weight off.
