Let's meet this field for the grade 2 Remsen starting with day one starter who comes off of a 3rd place finish in the Nashua. He was 10 lengths behind that day, and he did finish well behind one of the rivals he's gonna face in this race, drawn towards the outside in probably dream. Um, could you build a case for day one starter down on the inside? Not really, but I did want to mention that doorknock and Moe Donegal exited this race as winners, and they both were factors to your point in the Triple Crown, uh, in their respective years 2023, 2021. I think day one starter is very much up against it. Maybe along the rail has the tactical speed to be involved early, but I don't love the pedigree stretching out and I just think it has something to prove from a class perspective. Number 2, Palladin comes out of a race where he and Renegade were 1-2 in there, and we're gonna watch the replay of this race. Palladin actually crossed the wire 2nd there. Renegade got by him. There was a disqualification, they made a change. I mean, it was a tough change, Scott, because you can see, I think both of the horses ran well that day. Palladin is still on the lead in here, um, and he ends up, he ends up getting put up via the DQ. What happens is down towards the inside, Renegade gets, gets down there and then he's kind of drifting out, bumping a little bit. So, I mean, I saw it and I do think there was a foul, but it was a tough DQ if you were someone who backed Renegade that day. Without question, we, I think we see worse. I think we've seen more, but you know, understandable DQ pallet and 1.9 million, not the most expensive colt in this race, I will say that. But, uh, he's the one that's getting all the buzz. I think he's, you know, one of the favorites in the Derby futures early on. He ran huge. He's expected to run better as the distances go longer, probably a little bit too short of a price for me to want to be in this spot. I did, I did. A 4th place finish at Churchill Downs. He was in the street since, uh, on October 26th, kind of flattened out a little bit late, going a mile in the 16th, has to deal with more distance in here. Can you build a case for him? A little bit. I don't know if he's good enough to win, but he was 4 wide into the first turn and kind of 3 wide throughout that race and still finished 4th in his first try against winners. And the runner-up in that race, Universe came back to run a pretty good 2nd in the Kentucky Jockey Club to a really good looking runner and first. Further ado, so I don't think he's out of question here. He should get a pretty good ground saving trip under Joel Rosario. Yeah, speed figures wise, he got a decent number last time out too. Grittiness will add the blinkers. He's still a maiden though he hasn't crossed the wire first yet. His dam was a grade 2 winner, and he did finish behind a horse named Cording. Cording is the number 6, so he'll have to turn the tables on the common rival who beat him a couple of stalls to the outside. Yeah, that was only a 4 horse field as we'll talk about a little more with courting, but I think the blinkers going on feels a little bit of desperation. This horse hasn't gotten out of the gate well, hasn't run up to expectations, pretty well bred, but that hasn't hasn't done it yet on the racetrack. Chambersville has been only on the turf in 3 starts, and when you look at the pedigree, uh, the dam never tried the dirt and just one of the direct sibs. One on the dirts, a lot of turf in that pedigree. It feels like one of those situations where you want to kind of make sure you don't have a dirt horse. Understandably, that's where the big money is. Um, you know, this is a horse, like you said, both sides pet turf. You know, the first race, you might not go to the dirt right away because there isn't a race to go on the dirt of Saratoga or two turns, but we'll see what happens. The runner up in that race. On the turf. Happy Prince is kind of a career maiden, so this is a big step up. You were talking about how a $1.9 million purchase was not the highest purchase in the field. How about this one? Uh, courting is a $5 million purchase here. This one is a full brother to Claire Air, the multiple grade one winner who earned $3.2 million and the damn of One cavorting won the first couple starts of her career. She finished 8 of 13. She was a multiple grade one winner. So as far as pedigree is concerned, uh, he's got a very, very big one, and we're watching him win on November 9th over at Aqueduct. He was able to pretty much get to the lead, uh, put away the other early speed, and he draws off finishing in front of grittiness, who he'll face again in this race. Yeah, I mean, it's not often that the pedigrees in these families lead to future stars like it does to me those are a lot, a lot of horses you want to fade, but this family certainly hasn't been the case. Now this horse, that race was a four horse field we just watched when he made the lead at 1 to 20, maybe 1 to 5-ish. But um, that makes me a little leery about this horse. He debuted a one turn mile. I don't think he's been all that fast to Todd in the mornings would be just my. Take, I've not talked to Todd or anyone related to the horse, but he just doesn't seem like he, he kind of made an easy lead in a slow, a little bit of a slow pace. I'm against this one, but 5 million might beat me. I agree. I'm poking holes with, with him on the win end because I think he's gonna get be a little bit off of that big pedigree. So we got to make sure we get the right value there. We moved to Ignier, and what I liked about him in his most recent, uh, win, Scott, his second start, it was stretching out. He sat a pretty nice trip. Off the pace a little bit. I think he can sit and he doesn't have to get caught up in the battle early on on the lead. And he beat a horse named Rebel Instinct who came back to win a maiden specialweight next out with an 85 by your speed figure. It might have been a pretty strong race that Ignier won on September 27th. Right? And the race before it, uh, the runner-up Oscars hope was pretty good, and it's, you know, Richard Detrow did not have a good summer at Saratoga. So for this one at 26 to run to run third there, the bottom side of this pedigree. The dam was a $618,000 earner, very strong female family, uh, Volato's a sprinter, but I wouldn't be surprised if this one likes the extra distance. Moving to the next one, Con Carne, who comes in from Laurel Park, just thought this horse seemed a little bit up against it based on the races that they they're coming out of. Complete reach for this horse, 50 to 1 on the morning line. If he runs better than those odds, it'll, uh, it'll be uh to my surprise. Yeah, seems like the next few. are logical contenders. You can make a strong case for Renegade coming off of that race where he actually crossed the wire first but got DQed. I mean, I thought he showed a lot of ability. He was loaded, he was waiting for room. He got an opening, he pushed through up the challenge, uh, and then when he did get the lead, he drifted out a little bit, but it was a good effort. And I thought it was kind of late to make a change sometimes too. It was like right towards the wire, so I could have been either way with that DQ. Well, I'm hoping it helps his price a little bit, the DQ, but he comes out of a super fast Saratoga race there where he was just up against it. My one concern is he doesn't get out of the gate very well. If he fixes that, his pedigree suggests, and everything about him suggests he could finish and he should get better as the distances get longer. Alboa was in the Bob Baffert barn earlier in his career, came over to Brittany Russell's barn on November 8th. In a sprint race on a muddy track, and he absolutely crushed the field, winning by 5. Now, it's gonna be a little bit different because this is going 1 mile. 18th at Aqueduct versus going short on a muddy track last time out. Yeah, the pedigree is there. I don't want the distance, but it's gonna be a tall task based on what we've seen, speed to his inside, and a tough post in the mile and 8th. These outside posts are no bargain. Tolkin won his career debut, and then in his second start, he was the runner up in the grade 1 champagne. It's a pretty good effort for him showing some nice late energy for second. Nobody was beating the winner that day. Finished in front of a horse named Universe. You had mentioned, uh, previously you came back to run pretty well. What do you do with talking? No, there's really not a lot to knock with this horse. I would think they're going to try to get involved early with Kendrick Kus an outside post, but again, You know, I wouldn't want to take too short of a price for the post, the 11 hole could be very difficult for this one to overcome.
