It seems everyone is focused on one of the biggest stakes races today at Laurel. That will be the race we look at today, the Frank DeFrancis Memorial Dash.
Laurel Race 9 {Frank DeFrancis Mem Dash~G1~6 furlongs~3 year old Up~Stakes}
This race is filled with speedsters. The one that can hold of the others will undoubtedly hit the wire first. Vineyard Haven (Garcia / Saeed) is the horse to beat by all indications. I'm not quite convinced. While his last race was an effort in perserverance, he speed number in a 6 furlong dash is lacking. Maybe he is the monster everyone is calling him, but I have some doubts. I think Sacred Journey (Cohen / Dutrow) is sitting on a solid race and may emerge victorious in this event. With an August freshening, some sharp workouts and tremendous race progression (improved speed numbers eight races in a row), Sacred Journey should cross the wire first. True Quality (Lopez / Sedlacek) is in perfect shape to be there too, with solid workouts and a 7 furlong race last out. Ravalo (Rose / Barr) and Fleet Valid (Morales / Volk) will also run well today. Since Laurel does not offer a ten cent superfecta we will try our handicapping talents on a dollar superfecta. The play for today:
$2 SHOW: #7 Sacred Journey
$1 Superfecta: 7 / 5 / 3 / 4
