Training fast for his first in 14.5 months, trainer Bob Baffert is just trying to get rid of him. He's won many times in the past with huge drop downs, and this gelding by 'Pioneer of the Nile' should beat these.
2nd pick: #10 (Marvelous Max) (3-1) - He's dropping down in class and shortening up in distance. Competitive in three straight facing tougher, he's a major threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #6 (Resistanceisfutile) (5-1) - Stalking type has been sharp in four straight at this tag since returning from an eight-month layoff July 10. 4yo should factor again this afternoon.
4th pick: #4 (Woodstock Memory) (12-1) - Lightly raced and improving, he's cutting back in distance for this attempt. He worked a sharp half-mile Oct. 8th and can grab a share at long odds.
5th pick: #8 (Shell Beach) (15-1) - Another longshot, he enters of a wide and even effort at this tag and trip Sept. 3rd at Del Mar. Working fast since, he may get a minor award at a big price.
