What do we make of Riley Tucker? He ran well in the Met and another strong race in the Tom Fool although Driven By Success was not in the mood to run on July 5th. I've never been impressed with this colt and he has been an underlay many times since his debut win at the Spa. There is speed in this race and he's not going to have an easy time on the lead. He's coming back quick after a strong effort, will be heavily backed, and looks like a horse to take a shot against.

I think the ones to play are Pyro and Gold Trippi. Pyro has been in the Godolphin barn for quite awhile and has plenty of works to be fit to run. Godolphin horses usually run well first time after they acquired a horse. It's not a coincidence that they decided to make their debut with him at the Spa. He can rate and close and might be a closing sprinter. Another one I think who can hit the board and maybe win is Gold Trippi. His natural running style is to sit back and close. He'll have pace to close into and he has a great post for his running style.

I'm thinking of a 4-9 exacta box and playing around in multis with there two horses.

That worked nicely. GOLD TRIPPI becomes the first Lump of the meet home.
