International Festival of Racing Dispatch #6
Well, I've kept my eyes and ears open all week but haven't come up with much great information.
Today's works were somewhat telling, and all three races are just going to come down to what you think of the favorites.
Just a few thoughts on tomorrow's inscrutable card:
Love Cavan Thunder in the 4th. Think 1/2 to Tiz Wonderful, Witch Princess, is made of more than we saw in the debut. Why is Amazing Results not in the Secretariat instead of the Forward Pass? Toque de Queda looks sensational, and may be a bit of a surprise. Mauralakana appeared completely in her own world when I went and saw her today. Snoose Goose should be live in the Secretariat. He certainly fits in a race that isn't deep after two runners, and he was a handful in the barn this morning....he's ready to go.
What I'll leave you with here, if I don't get back online to update tonight is something that Frank Kirby told me today when I was visiting Cloudy's Knight. The horse is a monster to look at, he's a giant one, but he's crooked and unattractive in the legs. Kirby told me that "when he was 2, I wouldn't have paid a ham sandwich for him."
That's as good as it gets! Hope someone, somewhere got something out of this, and I hope you all enjoy your Million Day!
Feel free to drop a comment about who you like in tomorrow's races.

Thanks for the information earlier in the week. Sadly I was too busy to catch your last few posts or I'd have gone heavier with the winner in the Million and left out Dreaming of Anna.
As I handicapped the sequence, I couldn't separate the contenders in the last two legs and used as many logical ones. I wasn't enamored with Tizdejavu nor the low morning line on Plan. I was going to post my tickets on the site but structuring my tickets this a.m. took precedent. At one point I had $128 worth of tickets but wasn't happy with all the chalk in them so I whittled down and took a swing in the Secretariat with just under $50 invested.
My main ticket hit and cost $40 2,9 w/ 1,3,4,8,9 w/ 1,3,6,7 and I also had two savers singling Plan in the first leg w/1,3,4 w/ 3 and 8,9 w/ 1,6,7.
Thanks to your information on Archipenko and the scratch of Sudan, I went deep enough to include Spirit One as my 3rd choice behind Mount Nelson and Einstein in the Million.
Not a signer but a decent score...have a beer and send me the bill :).
