Meanwhile, while Dominus was taking advantage, Sky Blazer (10-1) was pace compromised in that event. Back at GP, where she's 2-for-3, she's been training right along and picks up Joel Rosario. She'd be fair odds at half her early line quote.
Taking Sky Blazer to win at 5-1 or greater and key boxing him exactas with course loving Nikki's Sandcastle (5-1) and tough tripping Big Blue Kitten (6-1).

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Chew on this if you dare, I believe that 3-Fifty Proof is back to stay, and was extremely impressed with his return, against 11 rivals after lengthy absence. Has worked steadily since and has always been the picture of consistency. A lightly-raced 7-year old; so he has either had his share of physical problems, joined the military, or is a free agent of some sort. Payday at the races? Can only hope he will be somewhat ignored (but I doubt it).
3-Fifty Proof (5.05)
5-Hollinger (5.15)
8-Dominus (5.26)

The scratch of Dominus gives Fifty Proof an uncontested lead and slower pace, making it tough on Skjy Blazer. JP doesn’t have the luxury of switching bets, but I bet he has.

You remember Fashion Bee, HH. I’m impressed!
Right, I couldn’t change my selection and would have--wouldn’t have had winner, of course--but I saw the Canadian as lone speed after Dominus scratch.
Fooled around in gimmicks with Tiz Sardonic Joe, a paddock beast, unfortunately to no avail!

Why wouldn’t a remember anything you say! And Empire builder gets 2 more shots off your watch list-he raced well again and just neeeds a softer spot.

Agreed re Empire Builder, a little class relief would be appreciated.
