Two lesser lights to keep eye on
Race 1
ANYONE can give you #2 and #3's chances:
both threats. BUT its what you do, if anything, with ADAM MOYKENS #4 ROCK ON LINE - his second trip since B. Parker left him..the #9 yr old finally gets post relief in shorter field.
4th logical, third hopeful, 2nd if it all breaks right, and 1st..well, that'd be an upset..but not impossible.
Race 2
Mr F. Bourgault, training at .261 and driving at 'improving'.223 and dropping board 'price bombs' with much regularity, has 4 in today (2nd 4th 6th 8th)..last three all with board hits last wk.
But its the 2nd race that intrigues today. Not that outside #7 MISS QUALITY 8-1 m/l is expected to deliver fm8000 ticket today, but might. No, its more likely, this is the 'final tune-up' for a top finish next week. Three weeks fresh and with tightener last week under her belt, the 7 yr old mare has dropped from two fm10,000clm wins april and may. Only real question: Was the #7 'worked too hard' may 20- jun 7? Pay close attention to form from this week. Mr Bourgault has rep for being rough on his horses in the past. Now, I dont know. BUT this I do know..He's playing nice in the Monti yard over the last year plus and is being 'allowed' to make a dent there. No Sowers, someone has to pick up some of the slack. Include #7 in early double here just in case next week..is this week.
