Looking for a one-two punch in the Stephen Foster
By: Robert Marks @theyreinthegate
If things were normal this would be a few weeks post Triple Crown series, but life is not normal and instead, it comes one week after the 1st leg of the Triple Crown Series, the Belmont Stakes.
This is a good race to watch and see the better older horses going into the summer. You can watch it on NBC or TVG.
Here is your field and who we like:
#5-Tom’s D’Etat ML 1-1 — This will be the horse to beat with 3 wins on this track including the Grade 1 Clark Handicap last November. He comes into the race on a 3 race win streak. Trainer Albert M Stall Jr has this horse rested off 2-month layoff. The class of the field.
#2-Pirates Punch-15-1 — Looking for some value, and we love this horse at juicy 15-1 morning line odds. If he gets a good break at the gate and is let loose on the lead could go wire to wire. Comes off a 2nd place finish last time out but was very wide and had an awful trip. Gets ridge upgrade with Mike Smith aboard. Definitely taking a step up in class but if the track is speed favoring tomorrow, look out.
#7-Silver Dust-ML 10-1 — Trained by Bret Calhoun we expect his other runner, Owendale to get more play at 4-1 odds, but don’t count out this consistent horse who lucks to run mid-pack and close late. We can easily see him clunking up late to fill out the trifecta.
Overall, we expect a fast pace with Pirates Punch getting to the lead at first turn setting up the race for horses like Tom’s D’Etat or Owendale. But again, if Pirates Punch gets loose on the lead you could get some real value in your exacta box and trifecta combos.
