Race Notes-
I didn't have this on the blog originally, but once I saw the scratches I thought Optimizer was a cinch.


Race 8 - Mineshaft Handicap 1-1/16 miles G3
A - #2 Mark Valeski (2-1) - one of two who appear to best this field Winner $3.80
B - #7 Infrattini (5/2) - the other one who will likely be the best
C - #6 Hero of Order (12-1) - not without of a shot if Bridgmohan can steal on lead, but unlikely
D - #5 Golden Ticket (7/2) - good exotics chance Third
E - #4 Cool Street (6-1) - likes FG, but a cut below, needs some pace to run at Second

Race 9 - Rachel Alexandra Stakes 1-1/16 miles G3
A - #9 Midnight Ballet (8-1) - other speed in race should help, 1st out 2013 but work tab good and gets smart rider
B - #7 Unlimited Budget (5/2) - has speed, but did show she could rate in first out Winner
C - #3 Dancinginthecircle (7/2) - could mix it up, but big beyer was earned while on clear lead and horses rarely repeat that
D - #8 Every Way (6-1) - suspect trainer is looking to move this one forward on dirt
E - #1 Finding More (8-1) - maybe a good value add for exotics
