Saturday March 28: Florida Derby & Swale

Race 9 The Swale Stakes $150,000
(Horse; Pre-race System #)

Big Drama- 8.7
Custom for Carlos- 8
This Ones For Phil- 7.5
B Z Warrior- 6.3
Brave Victory- 4
Sabi Sabi- 3

Custom for Carlos (8) has ran beautifully in two career starts. The System has him rated slightly second behind the layoff shooter, Big Drama (8.7). This Ones for Phil (7.5) tries to regroup after setting the pace and fading in the FOY.

Race 10 Florida Derby $750,000
(Horse; Pre-Race System #)

Quality Road- 11.5
Dunkirk- 9.6
Theregoesjojo- 7.9
Danger to Society- 5.2
Stately Character- 4.6
Casey's On Call- 4
Europe- 3.5
Toby the Coal Man- 2.8
Sincero- 2.4

Can't wait to see how this plays out. Pletcher sending in a $2.7 million rabbit? What does that say about his hopes for Dunkirk (9.6)? Quality Road (11.5) was dynamite in the FOY. Can he repeat with an added furlong and turn? His number says so. Theregoesjojo (7.9) ran a solid second in the FOY behind Quality Road.
