00:00Let's meet the field right now for race 11 on Saturday.

00:07So this is a starter allowance race.

00:08Normally they'd be running in this race for a purse of like $30,000, $40,000, something

00:13in that mix.

00:14They're running for $175,000.

00:16So this is big money for a lot of these horses.

00:18We'll have to go through this field pretty quickly because it's such a big field.

00:21But Busy Channel comes off the third place effort last time.

00:24Alexa, we'll probably try to save ground from the inside coming over from Indy.

00:28What do you think about the one in here?

00:30Yeah, obviously a tougher spot than he's used to.

00:32It's good at picking up paychecks, you know, in the money 24 out of 45 starts.

00:37I think he'll be forwardly placed and press the pace, but I'm not sure.

00:41I think a minor placing makes sense, but maybe not a win.

00:43Another horse who's been in good form.

00:45You're going to see that with all of these horses.

00:46They're in great form coming from different tracks.

00:49Devil's Harvest was a winner last time out.

00:51One on the front end at Keeneland in a first level allowance race.

00:55So this is a horse who was, you know, in claimers, but stepped up to just under stakes

00:59company and got a win at a really tough track like Keeneland.

01:02Yeah, this horse is interesting.

01:03They switch them back and forth on surfaces, but he's pretty consistently run better on

01:07the turf.

01:08So I like him here.

01:09I think this horse could be a price plays and need the lead tight.

01:13But if you look at the time from U.S. pace projector, they're an early pace projection.

01:17They do think he'll get the lead.

01:19Title forces.

01:20The number three is the next one we'll talk about.

01:22This is a horse who hasn't been able to hit the winner's circle in quite some time.

01:27Not a lot of early speed from this guy.

01:29What do you think about the number three title forces in here?

01:31Yeah, title forces is a closer who, in my opinion, has been declining in form a little

01:36bit the past few months.

01:37I think he needs to run back to his best ever.

01:40And based on recent efforts, I don't really see that happening.

01:42Yeah, I agree.

01:43More of an under typing here.

01:44Let's get to the number four Kentucky.

01:45Let's get to the number four.

01:47Cadet Corpse.

01:48Cadet Corpse was a very impressive winner over at Hawthorne last time out.

01:52That's where he's been for his last couple of races.

01:54He'll now step up and face this tougher group.

01:56Do you think he fits with them?

01:57You know, he's been the favorite in his last five starts and has won a few of them and

02:02now is 20 to one.

02:03So that shows you how much tougher this competition is going to be for him.

02:06Probably not my top selection in here.
