Race 8) Mile
This race looks very competitive. The turf course is a 7f oval and the obvious pick drew post 13. No horse has ever won from post 13 or 14, but it is not impossible. Note that there may be late scratches due to the condition of the course and that would move the favorite inside a bit.
This is a race that always seems to be very close and exciting. And there are a number of horses in here to avoid because they seem to prefer firm ground. Here are some ideas:
8 - Kip Deville
This is his distance
Trainer Dutrow thinks he is the one to beat
He beat Tagg's Showing Up at a mile last spring
13 - Excellent Art
Likely favorite for good reason
7 - Cosmonaut
Good form, good works, J Lep
10 - My Typhoon
I think this horse is dangerous shortening up for Mott
She is going against the boys, but could be big price
14 - Remarkable News
Must be respected, but also likes to fire out of gate and will need a good trip from outside post
9 - Nobiz Like Shobiz
Will get some play 3-for-3 on grass, but is facing older horses for the first time and all his wins have come on firm turf
