POST TIME 5:14 EST--#4 Carson Hall (10-1) is sitting on a huge race today. This late bloomer has put in three very strong races since October. He has an incredible turn of foot and can stalk which is key for this grass surface as it gets beaten down this time of year. Trainer Barclay Tagg typically gets the most out of his charges later in the GP meet. The switch to the grass specialist, Ramon Dominguez, is another positive sign. Carson Hall hit a new top first back from the layoff and then regressed, as expected, in his next race. Look for a new top to be hit today.
As always, #7 Rahy's Attorney (2-1) will run his usual good race and must be respected. #6 Storm Play (8-1) is interesting. Making his debut on the lawn for Pletcher. Has been working well on the grass so do consider. Has some impressive pace figures on dirt.
#1 Society's Chairman (5-1) and #9 Almoradi (8-1) offer the best late threats. Favorite, #3 Kiss the Kid (5-2), is over rated and will not get a spot in the win slot on my tickets.
