\u00a0<\/SPAN>6\/1 Eddie Ru Kidn<\/SPAN> has been all business these past 4 starts posting speeds ranging from 102sp to 109sp<\/SPAN>; he\u2019s been ITM in a G3, G2, & G1, as well as winning an open stakes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Rrlogan<\/SPAN><\/I>\u2019s colt loves taking the lead and charging full throttle.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If he gets loose the rest of the field may end up spinning their wheels.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Okay, I have a weak spot for the 7\/1 Mr. Eko(ire)<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If any LOST<\/I>\u00a0 <\/SPAN>fans are reading this you feel me on this one \u2013 it\u2019s a great show, absolutely love it.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019m sure trainer & breeder pointe<\/SPAN><\/I> agrees with me.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>But back to the horse, Mr. Eko has been running very consistently all year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Throughout the Derby<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> mishap and the June sprint and you have a horse that has won 3 of his past 4 starts with speed figures from 101 to 105<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He even faced the older males in March\u2019s Winchester Cap<\/I> (G3) finishing 3rd<\/SUP> with a 104sp.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Here is where you want to put your money\u2026 on 8\/1 Wooden Minister<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt has had a great year with a 5;3-1-1 record.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trainer pogs1<\/SPAN><\/I> has eased his charge into this race with love and care.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The colt is rewarding him by winning with ease.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Last time out was a stakes victory by daylight with a 106sp.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The time before that was an easy open allowance win with a 108sp<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019m looking forward to seeing the Minister run on Saturday.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Breaking from the outside is trainer buckpasser<\/SPAN><\/I>\u2019s 8\/1 Eight Track Mind<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>ETM has plenty of early speed and most likely will use it on Saturday.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is a tuff one, too; when challenged by another colt for the lead this guy just keeps on trucking pulling out the stops to try to keep his nose in front.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His best speed figure came in June in the open stakes Lite Nijinsky<\/I> over 8.5f \u2013 he ran a 106sp<\/SPAN> that day while finishing 3rd<\/SUP>, losing by <\/SPAN>\u00bc<\/SPAN> lengths.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Most recently ETM ran 5th<\/SUP> with a 102sp in the GI Smackdown III<\/I> \u2013 it looks as if his jockey tried to rate him midpack.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The colt did make a small move, but he didn\u2019t have his normal prowess.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Definitely a contender in Saturday\u2019s race.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/SPAN>9\/1 Storm Herd<\/SPAN> has had a really great year thus far with a 6; 3-2-1 record.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s won 2 of his last 3 starts with an awesome 107sp<\/SPAN> most recently.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If he doesn\u2019t bounce he\u2019ll be a huge factor in the finish.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>But in my opinion stellar3<\/SPAN><\/I> has the colt right where he wants him.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Lucky\u2019s Capital<\/SPAN> is 10\/1<\/SPAN> morning odds.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trainer winorplace<\/SPAN><\/I> has trained this colt well \u2013 he began the season with a bang winning his first 4 starts by daylight and establishing himself as a top contender for the Bluegrass Derby.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>When the big day finally rolled around Lucky\u2019s Capital had run dry.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Winorplace tried the colt once more in the Triple Jewel races, but no such luck would grace them.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A short rest and then back to the drawing board.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lucky\u2019s Capital ran the race of his career last time out in the 9f Buckeye Derby winning by 2 <\/SPAN>\u00bc<\/SPAN> lengths and posting a 108sp<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s got great odds making for a juicy bet.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

10\/1 Well Played Ted<\/SPAN> is trained by pick6<\/SPAN><\/I>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The colt has not had the most success as a sophomore.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His best performances of the season have come in the 9f Buckeye Derby<\/I> where he finished 2nd<\/SUP> behind Lucky\u2019s Capital while posting a 105sp<\/SPAN> and the open stakes Ferprival Special<\/I> where he lost by <\/SPAN>\u00bd<\/SPAN> length.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>All of his other starts have been out of the top 3.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His pedigree says turf, and he\u2019s ran his best over sprints\u2026\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Those may be a couple avenues down the road.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

11\/1 Henianlauch<\/SPAN> has not been the same horse since having his heart broken in defeat in the narrow Bluegrass Derby lose.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Crandyiv<\/SPAN><\/I> is shortening the colt up to 8f in hopes of awakening something in him.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He prefers to take the lead, but doesn\u2019t have much courage in a dogfight.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His best speed figure is a 104sp.<\/SPAN>\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I have a feeling he will be more dominant in sprints.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Trainer oaklawn88<\/SPAN><\/I> brings 13\/1<\/SPAN> Schoenberg<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This colt has had 8 races in the past 5 months so that makes me wonder if fatigue will affect him or if this particular colt thrives on such a demanding schedule.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The colt\u2019s best performance came last time out in the 9f Back To Drawing Board Stakes<\/I> \u2013 he finished a beaten 3rd<\/SUP> while running a 102sp<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Looking over his races it appears he runs the best when rated off the pace \u2013 a few times he\u2019s gone for the lead and that did not bode well.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If jockey M Goff can keep Schoenberg from becoming rank we may see a good run by him.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

16\/1 Creepy Mesa<\/SPAN> has not shown the dominance he served up as a 2yo last year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think that is what may have prompted trainer darthblur<\/SPAN><\/I> to give the colt time to maturate and figure himself out as a horse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It has now been almost 3 months since we last saw the little bay and I, for one, am eager to see what he brings to the table.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think a prep leading into this race may have been a good idea, but you never know.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Creepy Mesa\u2019s best race as a 3yo occurred back in January\u2019s Giant Slayer Classic<\/I> where he just missed running down the leader, finishing 2nd<\/SUP> by <\/SPAN>\u00bd<\/SPAN> length with a career best 101sp.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

16\/1 Adhesive<\/SPAN> didn\u2019t have the greatest early spring campaign.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His trainer, the baker2<\/SPAN><\/I>, was overheard saying that the colt was \u201chaving a lot of growing pains<\/I>.\u201d\u00a0 <\/SPAN>They turned the colt out for a couple months before bringing him back in July.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Adhesive dropped back before making his move to miss winning the G3 Hoover Hcp<\/I> with a 107sp<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If that was the real deal then most likely this Saturday we will see something even better out of the colt.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Lenny1<\/SPAN><\/I> brings 20\/1 Forty Deuce<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The colt has been riding a rollercoaster all season with his up and down performances.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lenny gave him a breather between April and June.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Upon his return he took full command of a small allowance field over 8f winning by 2 <\/SPAN>\u00bd<\/SPAN> lengths with a career best 101sp<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His next start (last time out) did not go as smoothly with Lenny watchin\u2019 his charge finish well up the track in 13th<\/SUP>.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Fittler\u2019s <\/SPAN><\/I>16\/1 Blastshaft<\/SPAN> has not been around two turns since this past March.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has been running real well in sprints, so you could very well see him up on the front early on.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If he gets too much distance on the field, though, he may wire \u2018em.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His best speed figure is a 105 <\/SPAN>over 6f.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Simsters7<\/SPAN><\/I>\u2019s<\/SPAN> has 17\/1 Last Rights<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The colt has been floating around the allowance ranks the past couple of months.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In the process he\u2019s posted two of his best speed figures (both over 8f), one a 97 and the other a 100<\/SPAN>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He loves the lead, but can also sit just off the pace.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If he drops too far back he won\u2019t be in contention for the stretch run.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His graded races were nothing to write home about, but those were back in spring so there\u2019s a good chance that he may have done some maturing since that time.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Still, I would look else where for my bet.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

At first glance jonsnow<\/SPAN><\/I>\u2019s<\/SPAN> 22\/1 Watergate Scandal<\/SPAN> looks quite deceiving, but don\u2019t let him slip by at those odds \u2013 he\u2019s sitting on a big run.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Toss out the turf race (in which he won) two back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Get rid of both the 11f disaster in May and the sloppy race in April.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That leaves you with a lackluster March race and a February win against open company.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Most importantly it leaves us with his best performance to date, a 103sp<\/SPAN> in the Smackdown III going 8f.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>One thing that may factor into a problem with him is that it appears that if he can\u2019t get the early jump then he folds his cards.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Watergate Scandal would be an awesome upset, but there are still others that I prefer.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/I><\/P>
