Lets have some fun...

Very tuff race. Can make a case for half the field.
If you throw out last race on #7 it has been very strong at this
claiming level.

$2 win on #7

I like that the #10 has 7 qpts, next closest is 4. Interesting that the best race she shows IMO is a "FA" shape six back, maybe having to go fast early gets her in gear. So I hope the #8 pushes her early (a little).

Trainer is O.K. at Churchill too, so.....
$2 win on #10.

later,

Yeah, I'm with ya George...Gimme #7. As a betting interest from an exotic key standpoint, the #9 looks attractive. #10 looks interesting as well Carl.

$2 win #7, final answer.

#10

I really need a new shirt even if it is from Texas.

I am going for buy one get one free 1/ 1A:confused:

I'll go with #8 Broken Land (12-1). I admit trainer stats not promising, but if able to repeat last race she's competitive with these. f/x1 produces some longshots, and I'm encouraged by 2 5f works since the short layoff.

Neil....really liked your #8 until I remembered Tomcat's comments about Lonnie Meche. Since then have a mental picture of every time I have seen Lonnie the Looney burn up a front runner. Have a feeling Tomcat may cost me a lot of $$ in the future because I can't shake the image I now have of Lonnie.

The #2 horse is the only non-TP horse in the race. Like fact he came from FG and Amoss is trainer.
no..no..as Glen says, #7, final answer.

[Neil]

Both the 2 & 8 scratched, and 7 & 10 were off the board. #5 Walnut Springs, who I didn't like much due to consistent negative comments leaving the gate, won, paying $12.40. I guess the originator continues to select the race until we have a winner?

Yeop, I shoulda mentioned that we should post 2 horses in case of scratch.
1) Primary selection win final pick single
2) Scratch backup selection alternate
