BECAUSE I HAVE NO TIME BUT WANT TO LOOK AT ALL THE RACES GOING ON TODAY!

Alabama Stakes

I just did a quick looksy for the sake of the Fantasy Handicapping Contest. A lot of things could happen here as all fillies (but one I believe) stretch out to 10 furlongs for the first time. I love Grace Hall who is tops here, but did not like how she fared with the Kentucky Oaks so I’m looking at fillies who can keep doing well a little further. Ultimately, I went with the $10 exacta box on Sea Island and Questing [GB], but Zo Impressive could also be up there too. #indecisiveness

Sword Dancer Invitational

Pace could make this one very tricky, and some very good horses fill out the field for this 1 1/2 mile chomper. I’ve liked Turbo Compressor a while on the turf, but he just had too easy a race setting the pace in the Colonial Turf Cup, which I doubt he’ll be allowed again. Horses like Newsdad need time to improve, and others like Al Khali and Brilliant Speed aren’t at their best form. I picked Tahoe Lake [BRZ] as the value pick back in the Man o’ War (he finished third), so I’ll put him up here again with Point of Entry, who has been simply too good to doubt.

Secretariat Stakes

My heart screams for a Cozzetti win, but alas, Silver Max will be hard to best. However, he comes into some really good horses here including Summer Front and will be breaking from the far outside post to try to jet to the lead all alone again. Shipper Bayrir [FR] also looks tough hot off a Group 2 win… but there can only be one in this tough field…
