[LUCKY 7]

The only horse that has come close to Ghostzapper is Saint Liam. This horse looked great in his last race as he smoked Roses in May, who would probably be around 3-1 in this field. Don't let the post position scare you away.....this horse is for real and he is gonna stay around 9-5. The public will bet some $$$ on Rock Hard, but his new closing style will be too late. Saint Liam will not be beat!!!!

L - I know where your money's going. Edgar Prado has a couple of mounts earlier to accustom himself to the track conditions plus a walkover. The 1-3-8 have the best price chances. Valenzuela could use the rail to his early advantage. Though, If I were standing at the window right now, Liam would be my choice. 9/5 would be an excellent price

Dan--It has been raining here in So Cal since last night, with the showers on and off. Im sure they sealed the track well last night, but it might be worth watching how the track plays today. The weather worries me because Saint Liam will be my biggest horse play of the year. Also it may be worth noting that Frankel has said if the track comes up muddy he can't see running Lundy's Liability

Maybe Borrego can get a piece at a price.
