2 Batten Down 1-1
6 Daily Grind 7-2
5 Bettera 8-1
3 Mo Rum 8-1
Pick: 2 Batten Down
He’s the first one to come back and run out of a MSW run on Blue Grass day. That was a deep and talented group and this one was right there. Dam 7x Grade 1 winner going long on dirt. Sib, Tacitus, was a G1 runner for Mott and winner of $3.7M going very long.
Value: 5 Bettera
He keeps catching productive races. The winner came back to win in 3 of the 5 races he’s been in. The place finisher in the debut won a G3 two starts later. 2nd dam won the 2010 G1 BC F&M Turf at 1M 3/8. Major jockey upgrade to Jose Ortiz. Should battle for a placing here.
