Some small fields at Fairgrounds which means prices are probably not going to be generous.

Track Phantom never ran real fast last meet as young 3YO but he won some races and made a little money. Had a decent layoff, returned getting FTL. Got a good number and get Lasix again. Son of Quality Road figures to improve but at a Grade 1 or 2 level he absolutely needs to. Mad Hatter has Saudi Crown who ran 14-0-35. Reportedly had some training issues before BC and ran like it. That 0 was generous and they came that day in 26:3. Nothing in that race came back to do anything.

Golden Gamble won easy last time out and got a good number. But only shows one slow breeze in 4 weeks. Mad Hatter has been pushing the training for this and for a runner who goes wide might catch a break with a small field that has very little speed. Look we are talking about a guy who had a 2YO run TEN LENGTHS faster than what Track Phantom just ran. Anything goes here

Tumbarumba in the Harlans Holiday looks strong on numbers in this field but can you bet confidently on a horse who has run 2nd 4 times in last 5 races? And may be at distance a tad further than he likes? I can't. The only one who has run 2nd more than Tumbarumba is Bobby Dibona. 6 in 13 starters. Steal Sunshine is 2nd fastest. Likes GP but is 0-5 at the distance. Saffie lures Irad so anything goes. Even though Tuscan Sky is slower than the others. Remember TP is 26% at GP and 26% with JV. Both in over 3,500 starters. Gets a couple of lbs is training lights out for this and can be couragious on the rail and in a fight. 5-2 or 3-1 is worth the risk against salty bunch

Major Dude is not going to be that 5-1 ML. Those last 3 good races off the Layoff were with Lasix. Not happening tomorrow. But he is training up a storm and pulls weight. Win for the Money is consistent and is fastest. Is 2 ofr 2 on this turf course with a DQ. Training like he is ready. Grand Sonata hasnt run that fast but has gotten rich doing it. Spots weight but can navigate an inside trip and if he jumped up this 5YO would not shock

The Janus is interesting and provides value. Arzak has been a little erratic this year. And if he wins at short price and you had him good for you. There is decent amount of speed in here and its all on the outside. Brad "Mad Hatter" Cox has two in here and is 37% 1st after the Trainer change. And 37% Blinkers Off. Figure that one out. Anyone who saw Knicks Go and Caravel running World Records after the barn change knows anything goes here. There is a Sleeper in here who will be a good price. Ran a nice number last out. Returned from an extended layoff a New Horse. He was gelded. He is on all my tickets.

I close out a Teaser with Penn State minus 2.5. Let the action begin
