I bet Straight Line in the Swale! Thought he had an excellent shot to fill the exacta

Nothing to think about. Keep him with the 3yo's for the time being. That condition, optional claimer nw3ot is written fairly often, no? SL only receives a 4# break in the weights and why slug it out vs tuff older when weaker 3yo's await! ;-)

Straight Line has some nice turf breeding in his pedigree and experimenting here isn't a bad idea. http://www.pedigreequery.com/straight+line5 He'll get a break in the weights to boot. [You can also do a rain dance, scattered t-storms Saturday, LOL]

SL had a nice 2yo line working down to a 3.5 and that number is likely best of the entrants [not that dirt/turf numbers are interchangeable].

Turf to dirt is a nice return angle for some trainers [Harvey's stats weren't listed in SL's Swale sheet] Perhaps you guys discover a budding turf star!

Good luck!



May they all come home safely!
