few punters here on ET, so this'll be a unlively thread
but, here are my thoughts on upcoming race Sat, by pp
1 Lion Heart (Tale of the Cat) Patrick Biancone Mike Smith 3-1 == will go directly to the lead and attempt to wire the race-- will win OR not hit the board
2 Borrego (El Prado [Ire]) Beau Greely Victor Espinoza 15-1 == will be all out down the stretch, but most likely will not hit the board, but if he does, shows at best
3 Little Matth Man (Matty G) Martin Ciresa Richard Migliore 50-1 == Mig should take off the mount to keep from being embarrassed too badly
4 The Cliff's Edge (Gulch) Nick Zito Shane Sellers 8-1 == IF HE RUNS will be one of the three best
5 Song of the Sword (Unbridled's Song) Jennifer Pedersen Jorge Chavez 30-1 == erratic enough to get in the way, no way to win
6 Sir Shackleton (Miswaki) Nick Zito Rafael Bejerano 30-1 == Nick will use Shak to keep Smarty wide longer than is good for the number7, and then will push Lionheart around the second turn
7 Smarty Jones (Elusive Quality) John Servis Stewart Elliott 8-5 == not today
8 Imperialism (Langfuhr) Kristin Mulhall Kent Desormeaux 5-1 == totally dependent upon a great ride from Kent to have a chance, will be storming around the final turn
9 Eddington (Unbridled) Mark Hennig Jerry Bailey 8-1 == with Bailey up he can hit the bottom of the board, but that is all
10 Rock Hard Ten (Kris S.) Michael Orman Gary Stevens 6-1 == needs some race hardening but CAN win today
11 Water Cannon (Waquoit) Linda Albert Ryan Fogelsonger 30-1 == too slow, but his best could remotely put him on the bottom of a tri or super
