Dropping off at Cyber Station Zero to make a few bets - got some that will make the Big Bang look like a firecracker (OK that's a little exaggeration). lol.
Race 1) #4 Dream Team #6 Colonial Power
#4 first time starter owned by Tabor-Magnier and trained by Baffert - looks like class.
Race 2) #3 Rocked Twice #9 Knock Em Flat #4 Ranulf
#3 Started off in higher level races then dropped to 20K and won then stepped up again and ran very good 6F two races way over head then went to turf where did not belong - now back on dirt at his level and not much in this race to beat.
Race 3) #1 Blue Law #4 Chromium #3 Air Pocket
#1 ran perfect even turf race 3 races back against good horse Eckersly - then came back in last turf to lead throughout - perfect sign for stretch out to 1 1/16.
Race 4) #4 Indexical #2 Appealing Tale
Appealing Tale looks like class of race but that was a real good comeback race off layoff in last for Indexical. Also Indexical was running and showing speed against the likes of Goldencents and Big Macher before being laid up so this horse is the real thing.
Race 5) #4 Henry's Holiday #7 Grazen Sky #3 Airfoil
#4 started off as class last year then laid up running against American Pharoah, Wake up Nick, Skyway, etc. in graded races. He did not come back very well after layoff but maybe was not given enough time before he was dropped to claimer. I think that could have been a very good claim.
Race 6) #7 Diamond Bachelor #6 Boyett
#7 looks like class of race has lead by 6 in Finnegan's Wake race, then came back in very tough Play Hard to get race, then bombed against Shared Belief. In last short on dirt ran very well to finish only two back in very tough race. He is ready to pounce at a distance on the turf against relatively weak competition. #6 ran very tough race against Little Jerry who is running in big race today and has ran against class horses in the past so should run a big one too.
To be continued
