If classifying is your game, early line favorite Havant (9-5) who finished third in a Calder Grade 3 after being beaten less than four lengths in the E P Taylor, a Canadian Grade 1. Jose lezcano rides her back for Christophe Clement.
Instead, we'll focus on a Canadian trainer, Hall of Famer Roger Attfield, who has entered Janiceellaine (4-1) in this fray. Her best recent races have come at 12 furlongs and is the likely controlling speed from an inside post. Attifield is a worthy 22% efficient with his allowances types, who gets some class relief in this spot. Gabriel Saez, who finished third on this 4-year-old in the G3 My Charmer, takes a return call.
Taking Janiceelaine to win at 7-2 or greater and key boxing her in multiples with the favorite and Ciao Bella (2-1), the Todd Plether trained marathoner.

For all you pugilists out there, box these 3 and then go get yourself a ham sandwich. Me, I’ll take the one at the longest odds, as they are difficult to separate. Happy New Year to all. Make your bankroll be fat and your wife skinny.
5-Ciao Bella (4.42)
7-Havant (4.91)
2-Janicellaine (5.91)

T, the main reason I took Attfield’s filly is that I believe she definitely will be the longest of the three--often do that when I can’t separate.
A Happy and Healthy New Year to you and all the HRI tribe!

Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to all!
I had a dream last night that you guys would make me rich. Then I woke up! Gonna box your picks anyway till my hands bleed!
In the clearing stands a boxer,
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev’ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
‘I am leaving, I am leaving.’
But the fighter still remains…

Well, I key-boxed, and bet to win. And really do think I had the best filly. Brutal ride! Four across the track, then chase 3 wide rest of the way, and actually took the lead, Unbelievable!
Will be turning the page in abot 10 minutes.
