I can't knock the Rodriguez/Dutrow entry, as both Goodday and All Drama both bring strong races to the table, but the price on this pair won't be much, and there are a few in here who are just as capable and will offer some value.

Mrs Rabbits needed that last race, takes a slight drop here, and could play the role of dominant frontrunner. I like that we get weight off with the hot bug Curatolo aboard. Major player here if she runs back to her pair of 76 Beyers from last summer.

Say Toba Sandy is a winner of 3 straight, and not by coincidence, as she has been getting patient handling by Cohen. If the speed erupts, she will need to sit patiently again. Should be one of the favorites, but will offer a better price than the entry.

I don't think Full of Gut is as good as she was this winter, and could get caught up in the pace, but the drop makes sense, and you get the Linda/Cornelio tag team.

We can't get carried away in a 7-horse, 6-slot field, so I'll let the tote dictate my play here.

The bridgejumpers are out in full force on the entry. Close to 90% of the show pool rests on 1/1A.

Let's see if Mrs Rabbits goes out there and sees it through to the end.

The figs show Full of Gut and Primal Baby exiting a very fast race. Let's try to beat some chalk.

Win 3 and 5

Ex 3-5/1-3-4-5

Nice call on Full of Gut, thought you were gonna take down the exacta there.

I was gonna throw in a Show ALL, but thought the chances of getting both entrymates off the board was futile. I'm kicking myself now.

$54,241 of a $64,018 pool just went into the Hudson over the Tappan Zee.

Show ALL for $2 would have netted a $33.20 profit. Oye.
