The show kicks off with PTF and Jay Coatta, recent winner of the Gold Cup Challenge, talking about Santa Anita’s racing on Saturday.

Next up, Eric Solomon is here with thoughts on Churchill Downs’ stakes-festooned card.

Mike Pribozie drops by with thoughts, tips, and analysis on a quartet of stakes races from Woodbine.

Last but not least, Donna Brothers gives us the scoop on the super fun sounding Embrace the Belmont event in Saratoga next Tuesday night.

Churchill Downs - By PTF

My inclination is to not overthink this one.

Appleby’s #1 Ottoman Fleet has the best form in the race with runs against the likes of Up to the Mark.

He was supposed to win last time but Master Piece is at least an old class horse with some big runs.

In a race where I have some class questions about other logical contenders I’m going to bet he can get back on track.

(I loved Eric Solomon’s case for #8 Irish Aces and will include, especially underneath)
