Betty's Pearl will very likely run next in a graded stakes. She paid ok only because it was a 10 horse field and there was a 4/5 shot in the race. But she'll be fun to watch. 

Another horse to follow out of that race might be Love and Trust who was on the pace and held ok to finish 3rd. Didn't have a smooth trip in the stretch either.

Race 1

#1 - Perpetual

2 YOF first out.

She tied the 1/4 mile record at OBS in March ...  20 & 1/5 .

Several have run that time. One of them is Crude Velocity, a 3 yo  undefeated in 3 starts for Baffert.

Crude Velocity paid $23 in his debut.

Sometimes you can get a great price on these horses.

Perpetual will be fast but the post stinks and JRV isn't the greatest gate jock at this point.  But that just helps the price.

Brandon is the pick

Everybody is a great guy to you. How many great guys go around stabbing their wives?
As for Case the driver, he's a shadow of his old self and can't even compete in Maine.
