GR III Gotham

Postby TJ » Thu Mar 05, 2015 7:17 am

Finally the last 3YO Derby Points race of the day. El Kabeir who has been a solid performer since he started his career, might get a break today in the competition, but certainly not in the weight assignment? Pletcher with a 3 ply entry and Classy Class with a big weight advantage....PP's below. TJ

This race is a little empty compared to the other 2 TC preps. I am going with a nicely bred colt, Tiz Shea. Why not!

Here's the finish. Gutsy Top weighted El Kabeir wins, Tiz Shea second, Classy Class third and Toasting Master finished fourth.

Here's the replay....El Kabeir showed a new dimension coming off the pace after being taken back early in the race. TJ
