Mast Track. He seems to be in the improve, has great jockey and has won at the distance. Should be a decent price.

Hi

I like Well Armed on top as well. A long shot possibilty might be Delosvientos. The longer the better for this guy, but 10 furlongs might even be too short. Of the speedsters, I like Barcola with the best chance of wiring the field.

I love Mast Track, I've had the love thing going with Mizzenmast since he went to stud and I'm pulling for Delosvientos since I bred and raised his dam. No matter what, it's going to be a great race. I'm already over the moon since Dearest Tricksi and Tiz E. did well.

Nice to see a Grade 1 10f race run in 2:01, not 2:07. I think they've made great improvements to the surface this year. I think its comparable to Hollywood park right now as far as synthetics goes. Seems to play very fairly for sprints and routes. Times have been pretty reasonable as well, not too fast, not too slow.

Pretty exciting when the weekend's 2 big races come up with such great finishes.
