Well-matched group here.

Fort Erie shipper BEST OFFER takes a huge drop and can go well fresh. Eight of his ten wins are at this distance.

FRIENDSWITH K MILL is four for five in the exacta at the distance and looks for two in a row with Danny (28%) Centeno.

CANDY WALTZ holds a huge pace advantage but drew the outside. Will need to be saving some ground into that first turn. Five for ten at the distance and likes Tampa. Can fire well off the bench.

And there are couple of others in here with a shot.

DD: 3-7/2-7

DD: 2-3-4-7/4

P3: 2-7/2-7/5

I have no idea why BEST OFFER challenged the chalk on the front end but I'm thinking it cost him the race. 'Twas overlaid at 6/1 and I did get a small W/P wager in on him and am OK with the $8.00 place payoff.

Hey, and a DD takes flight.
