I like Divining Rod in here: two nice works since his last, competitive speed figures, and a stronger finishing jockey now on board.
Alabaster shows nice works too, but he's shown that before in Fla so maybe he is just a 'morning glory'. Plus, his SFs are on the low side.
Mr Z will probably run his race, and be there throughout, but I think DR will run by him in mid stretch.

Hard to believe Mr. Z is almost a millionaire with only 2 wins.

Nice call TJ. Trifecta!

I do not understand Mr Z's quirks. He's made enough starts, why the erratic behaviour after all this time?

Nice call TJ. Trifecta!

Hi Cree,
Thanks....and a "nice call" to you as well:>) I'm practicing for the BC contest, trying to pick those tri's and super's in order so I can send you a free ticket:>) Mr.Z pulled his antics again, tried to get out around the turn, but was reigned in by Joe Bravo who hopped a flight to Indiana right after he won the Delaware Handicap, to ride Mr. Z last night. Billy Mott now has 3 late developing 3YO's for Saratoga, Japan, Speightster and Tiz Shea D.
Just heard Competitive Edge might try AP in the Haskell Invitational? So far it's a short field...AP, Mr. Jordan, Stanford, Tekton and possibly Competitive Edge? The race is below...TJ

Add Keen Ice and War Story to the possible list. The more the merrier, have to make it a horse race.
I eagerly await that ticket!

And now add Top Clearance.
