Post positions were drawn earlier this week and the rail curse for Lookin At Lucky reared it’s ugly head again after his late striding son Lookin At Lee landed unlucky #1. Right next to him is Dubai shipper Thunder Snow and one-eyed Patch will break from the far outside parking lot.
It’s time for final post position and Today’s Racing Digest speed figure thoughts, but the most important question it...who do you like?
In my comments below, I will be mentioning the Today’s Racing Digest FIRE Number + CPR. The FIRE Number is based on speed throughout a race and the CPR (Comprehensive Performance Rating) is based on pace, final time, and closing fraction.
