00:00When I envision how this race shapes up, I'm looking for horses that might be able to sit in

00:05that third and fourth spot just behind the leaders, maybe inside or just to the outside.

00:12And I can just envision one of those horses being Leslie's Rose in here, Scott. She just feels like

00:17she's okay with sitting a couple lengths off the pace. A lot of these horses don't really

00:21want to be too far out of it. I think she'd be fine sitting three or four lengths off if she had

00:26to. She's in good form. She comes off a win in the shoe. She hasn't always put back-to-back races

00:32together. That would be maybe one of my concerns, but I think her ceiling in here is as high as

00:37anyone. And I just, I think she's going to get a really nice trip. She just broke really sharp last

00:42time. I think that's why she was up, you know, real close. She likes to be up close, but she's

00:47drawn to the outside. She's got the leading riders doing everything right. I think she's a great play

00:52if she's nine to two. It's tough to knock Dorpedo Anna overall, even how this year she hasn't really

00:58stepped forward on the speed figures, but she's won three of her four races. She's won 11 of 14

01:03overall, and she's run very well at Saratoga. I'm a little worried about her trip in here though,

01:08Scott, being drawn to the outside. She always wants to be close. There seemed like there might

01:13be a couple to the inside that are faster than her. I could just see her getting parked a little wide.

01:18She's just a filly that I have a hard time betting at her price. She doesn't stand out.

01:23She isn't going to get the trip maybe potentially, but she wins a lot of races and she likes this

01:28racetrack. And that will hurt her as a, from a gambling standpoint, because she has that reputation

01:33and she takes a lot of money. Let's move to selections. I think we saw this race pretty

01:37similarly. We both were looking for a little bit of value. What would be the price that you would,

01:41would be like your bottom line for Leslie's Rose? Seven to two. I think she's going to get that off

01:46that nine to two morning line, but I really like her chances. Yeah. Both of us on the six,

01:50three to one and above feels fair to me. Six, seven, four, three for Scott, six, four, seven,

01:55one for me.
