\t\t\t\tA small field of young Turf talent take to the turf course in Paris France for the\t\t\t\t2nd edition of the Blue Fountain.\u00a0 A G3 event at 8f. Last years’s top-3\t\t\t\tfinishers all posted 104 SP’s in a photo finish.\u00a0 Will this year’s\t\t\t\tedition field the same type of drama?<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\tStarted off career just about as good as you could hope winning 4 of 6, including\t\t\t\ta stakes and G3.\u00a0 The cherry on top was a start in the BB Juvenile Turf race\t\t\t\tfinishing a competitive 6th. But added distance in the following 2 races did not\t\t\t\tyield positive results.\u00a0 However, a cut back in distance to 8f resulted in\t\t\t\ta career best SP (105) and an easy win.\u00a0 This weeks effort will also be at\t\t\t\tthe same distance, but the concern here is if there will be a bounce after increasing\t\t\t\tSP 24 points and upping the career high by 8.\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\t\t\t\tGoes from first career stakes race that yielded a 2nd place finish, right into a\t\t\t\tG3 while still eligible for NW2.\u00a0 Last race was career high 90 SP, but others\t\t\t\tin this race run that on a bad day. Having said that, with a small field, it’s\t\t\t\ta good opportunity to get your feet wet and see if he can compete with the bigger\t\t\t\thorses in the division.\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\t\t\t\tLightly raced 3yo considering career started last February. Pulled a firm track\t\t\t\ttoday, which increases his opportunity to run his best having won 3 of 4 races on\t\t\t\tfirm courses. Posted career high 99 SP with a closing kick to win an NW3L last out\t\t\t\tat this distance.\u00a0 Experienced graded runner, but did not get the best of footing\t\t\t\tin G2 two races back while struggling thru a yielding track.\u00a0 Bo won’t\t\t\t\tbe going away this race!!\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\t\t\t\tAnother lightly raced 3yo, but is a winner 3x winner in 5 races.\u00a0 Last out\t\t\t\twas a disaster having gotten squeezed at the start and never able to get in it with\t\t\t\ta field of 19.\u00a0 Basically held ground from the leader\/winner, while passing\t\t\t\tsome tired horses late.\u00a0 This marks his first race going 2-turns, but SP’s\t\t\t\tsay he’s a notch below the top horses in this race.\u00a0 Will be running top-2\t\t\t\tthroughout, but not sure he’s got enough gas to hang on.\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\t\t\t\tWinner of a stakes last out, posting a career best 105 SP which is competitive with\t\t\t\tanyone in this field.\u00a0 But the same thing has to be mentioned with him as talked\t\t\t\tabout with ‘Ahead and Zillion’ in that he upped his best by 8 points and\t\t\t\tit was in his first (and only) stakes effort.\u00a0 Closing kick will give him a\t\t\t\tchance to at least finish on the board,\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\t\t\t\tClass on the race here, yet you get a bargain at 3-1 odds (not ML fav). Closing\t\t\t\tin on $1m earned in a short 6 race career while having scratched off a G1 and G2.\t\t\t\tBut, yes there is always a but, last race was first around 2-turns and while it\t\t\t\twas a G1, is a by far his best effort upping previous career high SP by 15 points.\t\t\t\tIf you take that race away for arguments sake, which it’s hard to do, others\t\t\t\tin this race look more promising.\u00a0 Was last race a perfect storm, or was it\t\t\t\ta coming out party?\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\t\t\t\t\u00a0\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\t\t\t\tMy Selections:<\/b>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tYou have a millionaire waiting in the wings with Empire Dreamer<\/b>, you have\t\t\t\t\ta Breeder’s Bowl runner in Ahead And Zillion<\/b>, and the you have a bunch of\t\t\t\t\thorses trying to make a name.\u00a0 The easy exacta is to take Empire Dreamer<\/b>\t\t\t\t\tand Ahead and Zillion<\/b>, but I’m not looking for easy.\u00a0\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tI’m looking for someone who goes away, but keeps coming back.\u00a0 That’s\t\t\t\t\tright, my choice to win is BoGoesAway<\/b>.\u00a0 While he doesn’t have the\t\t\t\t\tglamour of the fore mentioned horses, he appears to be sitting on a big race. The\t\t\t\t\tdistance, track condition and running style fit very well here in my opinion.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tTo round out the exacta, i’m going with Ahead And Zillion<\/b> and if you’re\t\t\t\t\tlooking for a triple, put Archie Bunker<\/b> in there, with a fading Empire Dreamer<\/b> possibly\t\t\t\t\tholding on for third.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
