Mohawk Racetrack 2010 NA Cup Eliminations Morning Line Odds

This first elim is wickedly competitive, with the four outside horses and Ideal Matters all looking to be in the final. At least two of them won't make it, possibly more, so in this race you have to look for value. I believe the morning line undervalues Kyle Major, and that he and Rock N Roll Heaven will be co-faves, with Ideal Matters a quite close 3rd fave. Dr Dreamy or Sportswriter could be worth a fling at the right price.

In Race 7 the M/L shows Pierce and Palone on the two faves, and by race-time the order may be reversed. delmarvelous is ranked third but this race may be wide open, racing luck winning in the end. Watch for an upset! MD has similar genes to Beach...

Gonna be at a concert so can't make the races Saturday, yet I still advise everyone to get out if you can. The finals have a deeper feeling when you saw the trip they took to get there.

Peace 2 All,
