Race 9) 1ˆ Mile. (Turf) PalmBch-G3 Palm Beach S. Grade III. Purse $100,000 THREE YEAR
OLDS. Post Time: ( 4:03)/ 3:03/ 2:03/ 1:03

Kitten’s Cat (4): Really took a step forward in his last race and should get another great trip being forwardly placed.

Pagliacci (7): Broke his maiden first out on the turf and then caught a sloppy track when just missing. Gets back on turf for his first attempt at stakes company.

Cowboy Culture (1): Coming in off three straight wins including his last where he beat Girvin the Risen Star winner.

Race 10) 1 Mile. ™DvonaDal-G2 Davona Dale S. Grade II. Purse $200,000 FILLIES, THREE
YEARS OLD. Post Time: ( 4:34)/ 3:34/ 2:34/ 1:34

Summer Luck (1): Should be able to work out a good trip from the rail with plenty of speed to set up a solid pace to run at. Third off the layoff this one is sitting on a big effort.

Pretty City Dancer (12): The other Casse horse that will end up going off favored after just missing in the Forward Gal. She should move forward second off the layoff and be able to work out a good trip from the outside.

Brahams Cat (13): This is my price play here, she closed into a track that was dead speed favoring and showed promised going forward.

Race 11) 1 Mile. (Turf) CanTuf-G3 Canadian Turf S. Grade III. Purse $150,000 FOUR YEAR
OLDS AND UPWARD. Post Time: ( 5:05)/ 4:05/ 3:05/ 2:05

Interpol (8): When he puts it all together he’s a very talented horse and fits with this group. Toner is one of the most underrated trainers and isn’t very aggressive, so if he is putting this one here off a long layoff he is well meant.

Heart to Heart (3): Shortens up to a mile after getting run down in his most recent effort in the Fort Lauderdale. He could find himself alone on the lead turning for home.

Projected (2): The one thing Chad Brown does very well is win with horses that others develop and this might be the case here again. He is coming off a longer layoff but that shouldn’t be a issue today.

Race 12) 1… Mile. (Turf) MDiarmd-G2 Mac Diarmida S. Grade II. Purse $200,000 FOUR YEAR
OLDS AND UPWARD. Post Time: ( 5:35)/ 4:35/ 3:35/ 2:35

Charming Kitten (5): Comes back second off the layoff since returning to the states and should leap forward in a wide open race.

Taghleeb (9): Comes in off two straight wins while putting together the best two races of his career and will be dangerous yet again.

Mr. Maybe (6): Makes his second start off the layoff for Chad Brown and is dangerous with a clean trip here. You will not see the 10-1 m/l that he is listed at.

Race 13) 1ˆ Mile. FntnOYth-G2 Xpressbet Fountain of Youth S. Grade II. Purse $400,000
THREE YEAR OLDS. Post Time: ( 6:05)/ 5:05/ 4:05/ 3:05

Irish War Cry (8): Was green when winning and dominating the Holly Bull, should be even better third off getting the race all his own way on the front end again.

Gunnevera (2): Was forced to check on the far turn in the Holly Bull which affected his chances greatly, with a clean trip here he is a major player.

Takaful (10): Not sure what happened to him in his last two starts but he comes in off a monster work and should be ready to step forward here.

Why no Practical Joke (6) : Chad Brown over the past 5 years with male 3 year old horses in dirt Graded Stakes longer than a mile is 4-FOR-39, less than 10% with an ROI of .91. You will not make money with horses like this long term and I don’t advise taking a short price here.

.50 Pick-5
1,4,6,7,9/ 1,7,12,13/ 2,3,8/ 4,5,6,9,10 / 8 = $150
