Turf 1 1/16 Miles|2YO MSW|Purse: $105K

I am going with $200K Keeneland September Yearling sale 1-Coach Petro (3/1) under the aegis of nailing 3/3 with 2yo progeny of Cairo Prince’s third in a row with male 2yo’s in turf second routes in their second race. Trainer Brad Cox 27% in this situation.

Dirt 6 1/2 Furlongs|2YO MSW|Purse: $105K

I am going with Pletcher trained 3-Summonyourcourage (9/2) over the Gun Runner colt and morning line fave 5-Echo Again (9/5), who is trained by Steve Asmussen; who is 1/14 with 2yo’s this meet. The $450K Fasig Saratoga Yearling sale colt, 6-Spinzar (8/1), regally bred by Tapit out of the Medaglia d’Oro mare Fleet Of Gold, should hit the board today.
