Nothing Flat no doubt the 1.0 he ran last Sept. hurt, while a slowpoke here, he did return to his secondary top in his last, a jump up to a new top of a "0" isn't out of the question at huge balloons for a slice???? Sire profile says another two point move in him. (I know it's wishfull thinking, lol)

$ BILL Frankel or not, several bo notations leaves me skeptical on this one. Usually needs one to get going. S/P says not too much more coming, at 8-1 a huge underlay imo.

Puzzlement is just that, a puzzler. Keeps repeating tops or a shade under. Is this a ceiling or a new floor? Often times it's an indication the horse may have a physical problem. The horse needs a vacation.........

Volponi if you review his sheet prior to the BC, it was an incredibly strong pattern. His 4yo debut # 1.0 equalled his 3yo top, he ran many races within 2pts of his best (some will say he should've brokeen thru much sooner, blah blah blah), finally returned to the dirt and broke thru to a -0.75 at Med. A solid pattern folks.

That was then. Now I'm troubled by the front bandages that suddenly appeared in his last. S/P indicates that another 1/2 pt is still in the tank. A bounce candidate and an overlay at 3-1. (next time we might see him on the turf)

Harlan: ugly, ugly, ugly. Huge underlay at 9/2, there's always the T.P. angle of cranking up the vitamins tho. Agree with analyst he might be done.

Evening Attire: Disagree vehemently with the analysts assertion that last years efforts took their toll. The goal for the horse is the BC not some chump hack races in the spring. After a long campaign, the horse deserved a rest. S/P says a -3 still might be in his future. An easy race off the bench sets him up nicely for a top notch effort, at 8-1 a huge overlay and most likely to hit the board.

Hero's Tribute: Pimlico bogg did him in, in his last. Not sure if another forward move is in him S/P says no. I'm always leery of horses who run big X's and stay away from the races (granted, there aren't many for him) Wght/trip puts him in the hunt.

Judge's Case was a solid play Belmont Stks day last year. Talking about a horse that needs a rest! He's become an in and outer, r-top/x/r-top/x/ time for a good one, price bomber.

Mineshaft: Anything within 5 pts of his last still makes him a contendaaaah, hard to see him off the board. EA/Mine/bomber= nice price tri.

Good luck!



May they all come home safely!
