Emily's Analysis

Delaware Park Race 3

Post Time 12:30 PM CST
Analysis by Emily Gullikson

#6 DONEGAL DANNY should show more early speed today noting he was TROUBLE_S bumped around at the start and stuck in traffic behind horses and against the track profile on June 3rd. He is a versatile type and can handle the added ground, turf or dirt should a change come into play.

#6 HARD RYE GUY has some buried form and form that fits transitioning to the claiming condition at Ellis Park from the allowance races at HS Indy. He turned in a "winning" type effort earning a B OptixGRADE on May 6th with trip adversity and credit to still earn place. He was washed out (WARM) and WIDE, ground loss despite and inside draw wheeling back on shorter rest for the May 24th race. There are many E/EP type runners drawn inside and should assist Bejarano on the pace side to work a trip.

Ellis Park Race 5

Post Time 1:45 PM CST
Analysis by Emily Gullikson
#2 ATTACHE was scheduled to debut for the $50k claiming tag back in March at the Fair Grounds. They decided to scratch and race protected in the Special Weight debut on March 24th - ATTACHE showed run after the SLOW making a WIDE MOVE though overall visuals suggested he would require a DROP to clear the condition. He will find that key change in class today and fitness (even intent) wheeling back in 12-days to make the second start back off the layoff.
