Deep closer<BR>but hasnt really fired in his last two races and even in the win 3 back looked<BR>slower than usual just caught the leaders after a big duel and was able to draw<BR>off against a dressed up allowance field seems to be ready to collect his social<BR>security, or just needs a break but either way doesnt appear ready to make<BR>a splash today. <\/P><P>CLIMB AND MAINTAIN- horse looks to be all or nothing but showed some closing<BR>steps two races back but not sure he has enough early speed to run his race<BR>this time out.Interesting horse, doesnt seem to have the stamina to go long<BR>and does not have the speed to beat the sprinters to the front, A lot of close<BR>finishes are to me a indiction that this horse, despite its age has not learned <BR>how to win and will not learn today.<\/P><P>NORDKAP- I have always liked this type of horse dropping back to ungraded<BR>stakes after running decently in graded races could be a factor in this race.<BR>Just missed last time out against graded company that I thought would make it <BR>close to if not the favorite, but we have a chance to get a good price on a good<BR>horse.At 7-1 he could be one of the biggest overlays on todays card. The only <BR>question i have is how fit is the horse after two trips over the puddle in five<BR>weeks chickadee says he is ready to go and the trip did not seem to bother him,<BR>I hope that he does not run with jet lag in his legs, because this is the TWOSILK<BR>longshot of the week.<\/P><P>CYNICISM- Think that this one knows how to run with stakes company?? horse has<BR>never ran in anything other than stake races 19 starts, 19 stakes pretty impressive.<BR>This horse faded in the stretch last time out with a chance to get it done in the <BR>lane it faded, but i think it was fried from keeping up with the pace in that race, <BR>so maybe a better trip by<EM> N Trumbull<\/EM> can help him get home this time out. may not win<BR>but may find a place on the bottom of the exotics.<\/P><P>CRIMSONITE- Stakes winner two back so he knows how to get it done will be a factor<BR>coming for home. Likes to sit right off of the leaders and make his move right after<BR>the last turn with all the speed in this race he may have to rate a little farther <BR>back or risk getting toasted in what should be a brisk opening quarter. horse is also<BR>looking fatiguedd coming off of a triple crown type effort with this being his third<BR>race in 5 weeks <STRONG>donrawl01<\/STRONG> blamed his dull effort last time out on fatigue lets see if <BR>he has regained some bounce in his step. if he has some bounce he will be a BIG factor <BR>coming home but i think he will get burned in the first half mile and be rendered <BR>ineffective by the fast fractions.<\/P><P>BICHITO LINDO- Well bred horse tends to do his best running against lesser fields<BR>dont let that last allowance win fool you that was against a soft field with no <BR>speed and he didnt put that field away and I dont expect much out of him today.<BR>This horse seems to be a one pace runner no real speed just stays solid thru out<BR>the race and this race he will sit in the middle of the pack, and stay there,<BR>does not seem to have the speed to beat these today.<\/P><P>PLUMBERS CR ACK- ambitious decision by<STRONG> fitzy<\/STRONG> to put this in this race not sure<BR>horse has the class to be competitive with these but stranger things have happened<BR>remember giacomo. Put in here to rip the pace wide open and hope to be standing at<BR>the end. Not today, too much speed, and too much pressure, this horse will make a <BR>cameo in the first furlong and then succomb to the class in the race.<\/P><P>TRAIL BROOK- Another frontrunner, just what this race needs is more speed but this<BR>is not cheap speed but speed that can gate to wire if not challenged on the front <BR>end. Got hooked up in a speed duel last time out and eventually faded, this race is <BR>a half furlong longer and he will be hooked up again i expect the same result should<BR>set the pace and then fall back with the also rans.<\/P><P>HIGH N BLACK-Beaten favorite last time out and that scares me like to see a horse<BR>get it done when it is supposed to but it was second on a off track so we can blame <BR>it on the track,or can we?? You have to love this horses ability to get in the money<BR>with a first or second in his last 8 races all stake races. Should be the one to beat<BR>in this one with his stalk and pounce style but will all the speed make him go too <BR>fast too early and take away his late kick? Will give the winning nod to this one, but<BR>with reservations.<\/P><P>SINO LOUIS SONG-Dont care too much for his chances to win it, but seems to always get <BR>a piece of the action and if he fires against all this speed you never know. Interesting<BR>decision by <STRONG>sinostar<\/STRONG> to shorten him up he has not ran this distance since he was a three <BR>year old. This horse seems to fire every time out and with the speed and the pressers, he<BR>should have enough kick to run to the bottom of the exotics.<\/P><P><BR>Twosilks selections: 9-3-4<\/P><P>Longshot selection -3 NORDKAP<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yell, Scream its time for the RAISE AN ARGUMENT stakes!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":447,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/447"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2505\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
