What a card at Toga today.Two grade 1 and a grade 2.
Feature race is The Travers and the 7 ,Point Given, will be heavy chalk but tough to beat.
The 6 E Dubai being the only early speed in this race could get big lead and possibly hang on.
Will go with $1 tri of 7-2,3,5,6 $12
The other grade 1 Race 9 The Kings Bishop,is a 7fl race and I can get no feel for pace in this race as all have early speed with no horse averaging over 3rd at 1st call.Will pass.

The 8th Race is a Grade 2 and includes my longshot of the day # 2 ,Wheres Taylor ML 10/1. This horse is not that bad and Jocky/Trainer combo of Albarado/Stidham have won 10 out of 40 chances this year.
Will wager tri of 2-1,3,11 & 1,3,11-2-1,3,11

Other tris for day include Race 6
4-3,7,9 & 3,7,9-4-3,7,9

5th Race 7-10,11,13 & 10,11,13-7-10,11,13
Could possibly not have horse hit the board here but going for a big one.Most of the favs have early speed and a duel could burn them out so will take a $12 shot.

I like E Dubai here also. There's one other speed horse in the race (Free of Love) but knowing Day, I suspect he'll rate that one and they could slow the pace down. I'm keying both in the trifecta.

Good call by Valuist on Free of Loves speed.
