There are a couple spots on today’s card that we are interested in attacking, coincidentally both are turf races so let’s eat some grass today and get Whitney Weekend kicked off the right way!
Race Four- #9 Connect The Stars: We liked this filly’s last effort stretching out on the turf, especially given that she was caught wide on both turns on a day where saving ground was especially advantageous. Look for her to show continued improvement with some seasoning in a race full of first time starters.

Race Seven- #2 Luther: Pace makes the race- and this race is completely loaded with front-end speed horses, including the heavy favorite. Even if some of the speeds on paper are able to successful rate some of the starch will assuredly be taken out of their finishing ability. The Deuce is the only true closer in here and should get the perfect set-up today. Furthermore, Rosario fits this horse perfectly- look for him to drop out of the back of the pack and swallow up the tiring speed late with a menacing finish!
