Michael D,
Been following the meet this year and actully plan to be at Colonial Live tomorrow. For those not as familiar with Colonial it is a Mile and 1/4 dirt track and two huge very wide turf courses. Speed has not been holding on turf so far this meet. Mid pack to deep closers have done very wellon both turf courses due to very sweeping turns, unusually wide turf course and very long stretch. Dickinson and Motion run their regularly.
My Typhoon seems to want the early lead and will be pushed early by Flashy Three and Snug Harbor (who will quit on the final turn) may keep My Typhoon wide to turn 1 . Rich in Spirit spotting feild +4-6lbs will probably be stallking the early Speed horses, with STavinsky's Gal too slow for these. Leaves Massuese in tucked saving early ground,on the rail. Defensa will probably revert back to one last run (IMO) rather than stalking early pace (Last Race).This also Leaves Dynamist with an early stalking position either behind or next to RIS. If Massuese get's boxed inside that gives DYnamist and perhaps defensa first run unless the rail opens or the others all go wide and give Massuese a lane to run on late. Only problem with Massues is short rest. With RIS spotting 1TG point on weight alone I think this makes Massuese a viable Win Bet and Exacta/Tri Key on top of Dynamist,Defensa,RIS and My Ty. I'm Boxing with Dynamist
