Hard Spun :SIB
Have gone with this one in the first two legs and see no reason to hop off now. No offense to M. Pino, but this is a HUGE upgrade in jockey and a pissed off one to boot. Garrett Gomez committed to Fox Hill Farm and Jones under the assumption that the Pletcher trained entry Rags to Riches would be a no go. Word around the paddock is he feels a bit slighted. This is the class of this field in my opinion and with a 2nd and 3rd place finish during the first two legs, a win would make it complete. Not much speed in the race which will favor this colt out of Danzig and the distance should not be a problem. I expect the fractions to be quite a bit slower this go around and with early position, Gomez will guide this one to the winners circle! :00hour This one is OVERDUE.
I think both Tiago and Imawildandcrazy will be making a push late with the latter coming from way back. If I'm correct on the pace, I like the chances of Tiago to hit the board in a big way as Smith should have this one in striking range throughout.
Could make a great case for Curlin & Rags to Riches, but think we've seen the best out of both of these. Not to mention the Philly factor. At any rate.....Tiago will hit the board but won't have enough to beat my top selection. It's really a crap shoot for the rest.
I played Hard Spun on top, keying Tiago for 2nd and 3rd with the field for a $2 Trifecta ticket. $20 cost. Also put $50 to Win and Place on my boy!
Good luck Everyone!!
Remember: bet with your head, not over it! See you at the winners circle.....
