Weekend Stakes
May 31, 2008
Grade 2 Ohio Derby
This one appears to be a two horse race on paper. Z Fortune and Smooth Air are going to contend for the win in this race. I like Smooth Air based on how well he ran in the Florida Derby. He was second to Big Brown, and the third place finisher was far behind him. I believe Z Fortune is probably a miler. I’ll take Stolen Chevy for second due to his front running style. Z Fortune will probably stumble in for third.
1st- Smooth Air
2nd- Stolen Chevy
3rd- Z Fortune
Grade 2 Nassau Stakes
Quite a competitive race here. I think Arravale will get back in the saddle in this race. She hasn’t won in while, but she has been close in terms of lengths from the winner. Today will be her day. Local champ Sealy Hill will be right there for second. Quiet Jungle for third.
1st- Arravale
2nd- Sealy Hill
3rd- Quiet Jungle
Grade 3 Dogwood Stakes
Ronny Werner will have Secret Gypsy back in this spot. She ran respectable off of the layoff and I expect her to improve for the win today. Allina bounced off of her Fantasy run last out and should rebound here for second. Keep The Peace for third.
1st- Secret Gypsy
2nd- Allina
3rd- Keep The Peace
Make sure to keep checking back. I haven’t had much time to update lately because of finals coming up. After the Belmont I should be back to posting everyday. On a lighter note, I gave the trifecta out straight in the Shoemaker. I hope you had it. Also I gave out Divine Park last week. I cashed for $505 on that race. Good luck, and keep coming back.
