Lincoln Sires Come Up Big On His Birthday??

Today going with two plays both in the 9th races. Shiny Dandy is getting 20-1 after two " off the board" races in a higher class. I'm not sure why the drop in odds since he was competitive relative to his morning line of those races. Kokura's Believe Mine came in 4th last time out but looks to be better here.

Kisaragi Sho

Doing the math on this race ( yes, pun intended) I don't detect any particular speed advantage for Archimedes, but I'm loving the connections. Looking at the 3yr old classic race nominee list for Darley Farms and Sheik Mohammed, this horse is pretty much their last chance. Stablemate #1 Snowdon hasn't shown any type of potential dominance in a Graded race yet, so reiterating my point; connections factor big here. Also, a trainer( Fujiwara) without a classic horse thus far and a horse who came in 4th to Trip back in December, a horse which I feel will become one of the favorites going ahead further in the Spring meet.

EXPEDITION BACK ON FAMILIAR GROUND

Kokura 11 Race...#9 Expedition ..This horse was my first wager of the year ( and first loss) back in the Kinpai Stakes in Nakayama. It was the first time at the Tokyo track,though not embarrassed he managed an uneventful 5th. Now back in Kokura, Expedition has hit the boards five out of seven career starts including four straight up wins. A wager that the good results can continue here.

FLEET STREET II

I had the Sumi-trained Fleet Street as my main selection back on January 9th and will do so again tomorrow. Winning his debut rather effortlessly , Fleet could get on a momentum roll and the class level jump still shouldn't be an impediment to that in this field.

Tokyo 11 Race...#8 Hiraboku Wild,,After 22 career races he had his first turn at 1400m last month in Hanshin. He won it and looked impressive doing it. Too many trifecta formations to manage so will hope for a straight up Exacta win.

Pelusa Gets A Soft Spot But Will Disappointment Still Reign ??

Truly , how far the mighty have fallen. To see Pelusa running knee deep in mediocrity in tomorrows main one has to ask " How did I get here? In Pelusas case, a disastrous turn in the Japan Cup, that had everyone scratching their collective heads. The Alima Kinen scratch I guess was more about saving face rather than health. There had to be a lot of discussion in the barn about the mindset of Pelusa, and with another potential dismal G1 showing in the most anticipated race of the year? it would have been utterly embarrassing.

The race itself tomorrow looks like a cakewalk for a horse even half as talented as Pelusa. The prior 52 races combine of the remaining 13 entrants has produced ONLY 3 winners. The average time of an Open Stakes race at 2000 meters in Fuchu is 1.59.5. Pelusa ran a 1.56.3 here back in October suggesting even at a slower time a probable 4 length victory is easily attainable over his nearest rivals.

However in summary: This is Pelusa we are talking about...Bettors Beware!!
