Thanks for addressing my question. A thumb race, that earlier CD affair.

I'm not so inclined to use the digit with colts. More likely with distaffers.

You eschew confidence, as opposed to doubt, the bane of crushing a race. Good on you.

I heard Mercante will scratch, and that is a pace factor. I have been critical of OXO, mostly because of some suspect buys - but at some point you must acknowledge success. It looks like Instagrand has a chance as a sire. I'm hoping there is enough pace for Irad to run them down on Event Detail (8-1). He really had no chance the way the last race was run.

Will Walden has emerged as a trainer to be reckoned with, just as his Dad was. I'm wondering if he can get two stakes wins on the card. That OXO in the last certainly gets a look. Electric burst to win last race.
