Let’s hope my gal’s up to the task. She’ll see all of the 7f and the race seems to set up well for her. Good luck.

You have absolutely made me a believer, and plan on using him with Indian Blessing and Dearest Trickski (6 out of 8 wins on synth, 1 place. 2 for 2 at SA) for my ex and tri boxes.

My take with Magnificience was that she’s better on dirt. I know they same can be said for tons of horses this weekend, but I just didn’t feel comfortable making her a selection.

Interesting that you list Psalm. We should get huge odds there and I was already planning on using her in 2nd/3rd/4th on the dime superfecta ticket. :)

I agree about the on or near the lead but I’m afraid with all the speed, INDIAN BLESSING will be too close to a hot pace (INDYANNE, DEAREST TRICKSKI, DREAM RUSH, LA TEE, and the Argentine filly LADY SPRINTER). When she makes her move, she may have to be more than 3 wide losing precious ground. I’m going out on a limb and say that PSALM will at least hit the board, may run a shocker and win. Any filly that ships in G.3 winning form, was less than three behind LUSH LASHES in a G.1 mile two back, and was only FIVE LENGTHS behind Arc winner ZARKAVA (not to mention THREE LENGTHS back of likely BC Mile favorite GOLDIKOVA and less than TWO LENGTHS behind HALFWAY TO HEAVEN) as a MAIDEN certainly stands out on class. If she handles the track, not such a big stretch as usual this year on Pro-ride, the race is over.
MAGNFICIENCE will be 15-1 and I’ll take some of that as well. She was magnificent in her first two career races and I was comparing her to RAGS TO RICHES until she was injured. It’s going to take a perfect trip but the race sets up so sweet this time…7f, fast pace. This specimen has been finishing so well in all her starts, I think Headley has been using her four races this year with an eye to this big payday. He will tip his hand if he lets her roll with a 3f blowout in around :34 3 days from the race.
