ROD’S TRIPLE CROWN(JPN)

C Butts

16/1

Scratch bred that hasn’t been OTM since switching to grass.  Broke maiden in a $30,000 maiden claimer.  Has just advanced in a NW2L allowance short field.  We would have to believe trainer spotted this short field and said, “what the hey”, may as well give it a shot J  Not a bad choice by any means.  However, even to cash a minor check will take a big jump in speed.  Wishing both horse and trainer the best.

MR. INCONSPICUOUS(KY)

H Ross

5/2

Nothing inconspicuous about this colt whose out of a nice “C” rated mare.  Stalker type coming off a nice 2^nd place finish at NH last out.  Rated 58^th on the rating charts and has the benefit of Ross in the irons.  Colt had a very nice 2yo season and is fairing well as a 3yo.  No easy task here but could get the job done.  With a good break from the gate, this colt will be close to a very fast pace; and if in top form, should be there at the end.

HIGH AT JUMBO’S(FR)

D Silver

7/2

Out of an “E” rated he/she mare, this guy has only been OTM one time in 10 outings.  Silver, 2^nd top jock at Delaware has the honors.  “Jumbo” likes routes a bit better, but this long sprint should see him laying back and making a charge at what appears to be a worm burner.  He should be a streak in the stretch if speed falters.

MILWAUKEE SIESTA(FL)

I Wimpy

2/1

One of the better Milwaukee Brew’s in the sim.  Out of a “G” rated mare, this event fits him like a glove.  Likes to make lead horses sweat by making presence known 2-3 lengths back.  His jock “the Wimp”, loves to be on a horse with his style.  Broke maiden on the brown stuff but really likes green.  Will be coming at them in the stretch.

CHASING TALE(KY)

Z Wylde

6/1

Scratch bred Tale of the Cat on the improve.  Another that broke his maiden in a claimer and just succeeded in a NW2L.  Red hot right now and may have some class.  Hard to figure this type out until after the jump in class.  In a short field such as this, he should cash some $$$.

B Ironside

3/1

Out of a “G” rated mare with a smelly name J,  this colt is coming off his best SP to date.  Two things are in the making here.  Either he fires big time or bounces like a rubber ball.  Which will it be is unknown, but experience says bounce.  Whatever happens it won’t be because of a bad ride, as Ironside is one of the best at holding a young colt together.

Looking forward to the Summer break and wish all you trainers the best with your horses.  “May your horses run swift and injury free”
