The post positions play a vital role. I am concerned about Hansen. Calvin Borel likes hugging the rail.
For my exacta and trifecta (Box) including win and place (4, 6, 8 and 15)
4 UNION RAGS is a Northern Dancer line-bred. He is by Dixie Union by Dixieland Band out of Tempo by Gone West. We all know that the daughters of Gone West are capable of all distances and surfaces.
6 BODEMEISTER has a talented bloodlines, by Empire Maker out of Untouched Talent, by Storm Cat. Mike Smith captured my heart when he rode Zenyatta. Storm Cat has been noted as the sire of successful stallions and broodmares.
8 CREATIVE CAUSE, in 8 Starts, has 4 Wins, 2 Places, 2 Shows and a son of leading international sire Giant’s Causeway. One of his top performers.
15 GEMOLOGIST, when it comes to pedigrees, I’m always impressed with Mr. Prospector like Smart Strike, Gone West, Forty Niner and Machiavellian.
For my Superfecta, I will add the following long shots (5, 10 and 16)
5 DULLAHAN happens to be the half brother of Mine That Bird. On the dam side is by Smart Strike, the sire of Curlin.
10 Daddy Nose Best (Scat Daddy – Follow Your Bliss, by Thunder Gulch)
16 El Padrino (Pulpit – Enchanted Rock, by Giant’s Causeway)
Good luck!
