3RD <\/FONT>– MILITARY SPEED(KY) – <\/B>you hate to go all in on a 5-2 shot that is 0-23, but she should be around for a part<\/P>

RACE 5<\/P><\/U>

3RD <\/FONT>– VT LOST(KY) – <\/B>lost last three for her new connections by almost a combined 70 lengths BUT… in way over her head; returns to winning level on turf and could open up on a field that is void of speed<\/P>

2ND <\/FONT>– COMICAL DANE(CA) – <\/B>turns back from 10 furlongs in last, won off similar move two back<\/P>

RACE 8<\/P><\/U>

OUT <\/FONT>– GREEN ST HOOLIGAN(WA) – <\/B>comes off a good second last out and running style suits this pace<\/P>

OUT <\/FONT>– DOSSOLOGIA (KY) – <\/B>gets out of the gate fast and could be hard to catch if left unchallenged<\/P>

2ND <\/FONT>– BREYERS(KY) – <\/B>class of the field exits four straight graded stakes, winning the first two, but it’s the last two that are cause for concern, red flags up on this 9-5 favorite<\/P>

RACE 9<\/P><\/U>

1ST <\/FONT>– TWILIGHT KING(KY) – <\/B>returns to Allowance company where he is 4-5 prior competing in a pair of stakes including a 4th place finish in a G3<\/P>

OUT<\/FONT>– PITCH PERFECT(KY) – <\/B>got to respect the company this guy has been keeping, but that rigorous schedule might be taking its\u00a1\u00af toll as evidenced by his last two starts<\/P>

3RD <\/FONT>– STYLE FILE(GB) – <\/B>now that\u00a1\u00afs a past performance that jumps out at you, who says one is the loneliest number<\/P>

RACE 10<\/B><\/FONT> <\/P><\/U>

OUT <\/FONT>– BLUE SHAMROCK(ENG) <\/B>– trainer is oreilly<\/I>, Shamrock, after all it is St. Paddy’s Day, what more do you need to know; Dansili colt makes three year old debut<\/P>

RACE 12<\/P><\/U>

3RD <\/FONT>– DEVIL’S MOON(KY) – <\/B>has been running lights out over this racetrack and could find himself alone on the lead by default, won this level five back<\/P>

1ST <\/FONT>– EMPIRE OF ROME(KY) – <\/B>has been knocking on the door this level but can’t afford to be too far behind in a field that has little early pace<\/P>

OUT<\/FONT>– AWESOME THING(KY) – appears to have returned to form in his last start and should be ready for the next level<\/P>

EMPIRE OF ROME(KY) chased the front runners from the outside, went three wide into the stretch, entered the lane from there and took off, held sway and was kept busy to the wire<\/P><\/B><\/FONT>

RACE 13<\/B><\/FONT> <\/P><\/U>

OUT <\/FONT>– GIVIN’ IT ALL(KY) – <\/B>no chance in last going 12 furlongs over an off track in open allowance, dangerous this level<\/P>

RACE 14 <\/B><\/FONT><\/P><\/U>

2ND <\/FONT>– DAIWA BARB(JPN) – <\/B>improving as a three year old from a family that boasts two stakes winners, one a graded stakes winner on the turf; graduation day<\/P>

OUT <\/FONT>– THE AMERICAN DREAM(KY) – <\/B>well-bred 8-5 favorite could come out running but is more likely to want more ground<\/P>

OUT <\/FONT>– KITTEN’S PLAY(KY) – <\/B>another well-bred first time starter benefits from the inside post position and could come out running<\/P>

RACE 15<\/B><\/FONT> <\/P><\/U>

2ND – BRANT ROCK(KY) – <\/B>half to 2011 G1-Sparkling Wine Stakes and one of this years top Derby prospects Clinton\u00a1\u00afs Ditch <\/P>

RACE 16 <\/B><\/FONT><\/P><\/U>

OUT<\/FONT>– COSMIC CONNECTION(KY) – <\/B>has been facing better and should have a good pace to run down in here<\/P>

2ND<\/B> <\/FONT>– RIVER NICOLE III(GER) – <\/B>hard to judge this mare on speed figures alone since she has been the easiest kind of winner in all five of her straight wins, four at this distance; dead on the board at 30-1<\/P>

1ST <\/FONT>– I’M THE STAR(KY) – <\/B>triple digits four straight but will have to avoid a speed duel with <\/B>TESTING AFLEET(KY) <\/P>
