This is an interesting race. Haven't looked at it on Tfigures yet, just some first impression observations for now:

Seaside Retreat - Looks to have been here for weeks working. Gotta like that, even if you suspect its real nice for a Canadian trainer to be wintering in Florida.

Blazing Rate - First back in months on that freaky wet track. He gets a pass on that one. This horse and In Summation developed quickly. If he can make a small move forward here what would that get him?

Pegasus by Storm - He sure looks like Storm Surge to me. Which may get him a piece here if hes lucky.

R Loyal Man - What can you say? He's trying to stretch that speed. If he stretches it a little, can anyone beat him? Theres always the bounce play. That last one was a big effort.

Hesanoldsalt - Wonderful longer race breeding, but slow races. Not sure Berajarano had any choice to make. Zito will be happy if he finishes 3rd or 4th and thats the problem.

Bluegrass Cat - Pletcher says he won't be cranked for this. He's a headstrong Storm Cat by all appearances. Between R Loyal Man, Little Cliff and Laptop Computer it will be a significant effort if he can win a pace duel and the race while still pointing for more later. Additionally, can't say hes even beat a good horse yet. Steps up vs better today.

Sweet Grass Creek - hmmmmm

Laptop Computer - Not sure he's can do it. But do believe he makes it real tough on Bluegrass Cat.

Deputy Glitters -

Electrify - That was a big race he put up vs. R Loyal Man. That counts for something. If R Loyal Man bounces, and this horse isn't headstrong, can he snag it?

Little Cliff - Zito thinks hes working well. Berajanao thought Hesandoldsalt was the way to go. This one isn't a full to The Cliff's Edge who took to the strip but for wide.

Right Flanker -
