Another useful URL to bookmark for free PP's...
Just change the date (usually by 10PM ET, the next day's PP's are there) to get the PP's for all the graded stakes in North America for that day. Here it is for Travers day:

Glad you posted. Kono just returned to site and it was a heads up to his saying
"The added clay should speed up the track if they scrape it like they have in the past."
He now has got the memo

I'm guessing you thought I was talking about Early Voting, I was talking about Cyberknife !
Let me know, I better edit my message.
no, I was simpy addressing your note about "hard to figure out pace" .........I thought you meant for most all the horses in this race due to reformulated track, etc.......

and then I decided to add a note about EV, i.e he was weaving in stretch in Preakness, for instance.

Lasix free: Rich Strike, Epicenter, Early Voting, Zandon : My Trifecta Box for giggles a repeat of the Derby ! LOL
Basically that was my line up in my opening post......except I'm replacing EV with the Mott horse.
I hope at least 2 of those run in the tri.
Not wagering anyway though. SAR doesn't interest me much and I don't feel like watching all the races to figure out how the track is playing. Good luck to all!

1st 3 races on dirt runner on lead early (4 Fl) won. 2nd to winner 2nd.
Don't see Epi to close on speed time ahead of him and track surface.
Race strategy will be early.
Get out and stay out. Pow! moves have to begin at 6 Fl

Cyber gets out, but from gate 1; knows the break will be quick due to all jocks knowing the loose track will not be kind to closing with nothing to offer. Behind will be forever.
By 5 Fl navigate a path strategy. At 6fl with 4fl to go; the next 3fl with hopes his time in Haskell can be repeated; full out; a look back at the field...finish the last eighth.
And Joel and Prat know going too early ruin all chances and mother nature has made her surface call.
They all know how to ride a horse. When to ride is the difference.

I like the idea of those 4 lasix free running 1-4 they deserve it imo.
Epicenter, Early Voting, Zandon Have the Best numbers at Saratoga 103 or higher.
I will probably put 1 in a box with the 4 Lasix free, Hard to use the wiseguy Cyber never raced at Toga
Has gone 4 races without Lasix , has never run 3 good races in a row without lasix in one of them.
might add Artorius won a stks 9f at Toga awarded a 99, only 3 races 91 95 99 Arrogate/ Ghostzapper
is interesting this time of year.
