The 1st division of Slow NY river rats on turf drew the weakest bunch of them.

If J. Bond has Histoforos [6-1 ml] ready, he could streak to his 2nd victory in 42 starts. He has several figs that lay over the field; Bond and J.R. have a cozy 50% win rate.

Timopocus 20-1; another sterling record of 20-1-2-5. However, the 6yo just ran a new top which is 2.5 pts better than the 2-1 m.l. fav; has 5-0-1-1 turf record and the unheralded Jose Bemused rides. Nice drop from open 35k to slow river rats nw2alw.

No doubt the lightly raced rats will win, but these can light up your tote, muuhahahaaa.

I'm praying the rains come in time for the 2nd division. The #10 9/5 fav MTO is death defyingly slow.



May they all come home safely!
