Making the assumption that the turf will be firm for the card although there is a chance of scattered thunderstorms.
Nobody in the field (except MTO Unbridled's Heart) was as highly regarded at the auction ring as Big Top. The cream of the crop tends to rise to the surface at the glamour meets such as 'Toga, and Big Top broke his maiden at Keeneland, which is always fields tough MSW and MW1&2 allowance races. He ran a decent race first time out against winners and first time on the weeds in May. Not sure what to make of the last effort, hopefully it was more the result of the soft going rather than the inside trip.
Although there are no turf winners in the lineage, Big Top is a half to some nice stakes winners, including Spellbinder and WhyWhyWhy. And WhyWhyWhy sired, NowNowNow, who won two grass stakes, including the Breeders Cup Juv Turf.
Money-man Ramon climbs on board and should guide this horse to a nice ground saving trip for Zito. He's been stabled up at 'Toga since mid May and shows a decent breeze on the lawn.
10-1 ML and this horse should be a decent price at post time. Soft going or off-the-turf and this becomes a non-play, just wanted to post as I'll be working tomorrow.
