POST TIME 5:56 EST--No 2 year-old on the grounds is working better than #3 Aspire (15-1) out of the Eddie Kenneally barn.  Ran a good one in his debut against modest competition.  Was quite green in that race but showed some stamina and looks like he'll handle the stretch out to 7 furlongs.  I like his BRIS 2nd Call and Late Pace numbers of 93 and 96, respectively.  That puts him about 8th in this field of quitter types but only 5 lengths off the pace early on.  Bred for middle distances.

#1 Westover Wildcat (12-1) is the speed of the speed.  Can he carry that speed 7 furlongs?  Dutrow will certainly have him ready.

#8 Enumerate (6-1) had a very tough go in the Sanford...look for major improvement here and is probably the best of the three Asmussen entries

#4 Grand Slam Andre (12-1) is the "other" Asmussen horse that has done no wrong picking on weaker at Remington and Lone Star

#7 Not Macho Any More (6-1)  Ridden by HRN's Cigar's favorite jockey, Kent Desormeaux, is a big threat here to improve for a piece

THE WAGER:

$.50  Superfecta 3 with 1,4,7,8 with 1,2,4,7,8,10,12 with 1,2,4,6,7,8,10,12 (total bet $72)

 

Rewind
#3 Aspire out ran his odds finishing a strong second and one to watch as the distance increases. #12 Dublin out of the D Wayne Lucas barn, also put in an impressive race and will continue to improve. Asmussen's three entries did nothing.
