Sam F. Davis Stakes 2024 Picks & Final Time Ratings

Patriot Spirit removed blinkers and defeated Saturday’s rival Crazy Mason in the Inaugural Stakes at Tampa Bay last time. He stretches out in distance and should impact the pace under Samy Camacho. 

Crazy Mason rallied for the place in the Inaugural Stakes at six panels on Dec. 2, and stretched out and scored as the favorite in a slow early/fast late optional-claiming race on Jan. 14. He should be finishing in his third start after a layoff.

Whocouldaskformo was an even 3rd at 9-1 in her extended sprint bow at Aqueduct. She was less than even money in a special weight affair at this course and distance on Dec. 31, and she stalked and romped in that slow early/fast late event. Shug McGaughey is 7-for-14 at the current stand and this $450k Uncle Mo filly figures to save ground behind the speed.
