Spt 2nd- #3 Tara Jean
This race is why you never can go by morning lines because most tracks do a terrible job of making them. Tara Jean (20-1 in the morning line) is coming off a layoff after facing 2 good Mdn fields at Arlington. She finished 3.5 lengths behind a horse called Leeward City, who has since been stakes placed. In her 2nd race she showed speed before fading in the mile race. Now she's sprinting and facing a terrible field of M16000s. The morning line favorite is a horse who's run 2nd four straight times for M12500 at Calder and figures to be overbet. Tara Jean is 20-1 in the program but I expect 5-2 odds.
Spt 5th- # 2 Royal Tramp
Handling this strange track is one of the most important factors at Spt. Tramp has 2 wins and 2 2nds from 9 starts. I also think he gets the lead here. 6-1 in the program but figures to be much lower than that.
Fla Derby- Harlans Holiday
I'll give him one more chance. If he runs 2nd to Booklet again, we can conclude he is a sucker horse, who refuses to go by the final horse.
