Should be some good races in the American Nationals in spite of the short fields. 

Race 1-  Several have a shot in here.  I have to go with local fav Lexington Lady#3, Hosea has this one as sharp as can be and I may have to spring for a Heinekens for him if she wins.  #2 Can't Touch This will be at short odds and is capable.  #1 Roll Of Dreams gets Yannick and can't be ruled out. #5  Char N Marg will be closing fast and could pick up the pieces if a speed dual ensures amongst the others.

Race 2  #1 Mystical Rock- have to root for my bud's horse who gets a huge driver upgrade.  #4  New Talent- Can't be totally discounted with Campbell in the bike.

Race 3  Another were several could win  Brian Brown has two in #3 Somewhere Sweet and Triple V Hanover, either one could win.  #7 Devil Child- super sharp rtight now.  #2 Daut Full- could wire em off her Yonkers form 

Race 4   #3 Muscle Baby Doll-speedy sort has to stay flat.  #7  Bright Baby Blues-  could avenge last  #4 EL Love-Trotmaster Rina trains and will be at the controls.  Best looking driver for sure.

Race 5  #2  Freaky Feet Pete-  should romp

Race 6  #6 Homicide Hunter- has had monster year  #1 The Bank- Breeder's Crown champ has rail and top driver  #7 Habitat-big driver upgrade for a nice colt from the power house Burke barn.

Race 7-  #3 Always B Miki-last couldn't be more impressive

Race 8    This one is wide open.  #3 Fox Valley George- impeded last and might have slight edge   #6 I'm So Handsome-  many scared off by 9th place finish last, but sharper than that  #4 Fox Valley Andy- tries

Race 9-#2 Part Time-didn't like slop at HoP last  #7 Galactic Star- sharp now  #1 Dakota Roadster- last tougher

Race 10- #9 Firstclassallthway  danger this class with Casey up  #4 Uncle Bud-another that fits well  #3 Sunset Dreamer- sharp

Race 11 #5 Sparkin Your Fire-should get job done  #3 Fox Valley Pipa-tough trip last

Race 12-  #5 bMake it Work- should be tough here   #4 Dontdoubtthelakers-throw out last at HoP

Good luck all.  I'll be at the Bully Bash in Villa Park for part of the day.  Can't wait to see the Bully triathlon and also the agility contest.  Will be out at Balmoral for the night's festivities.

looking forward to seeing the best drivers/horses up close tonight..my thoughts as my friend "THE LUMPER" invades Balmoral tonight:

Race 1 - #5 Char N Marg - usually ready for bigger $ races and pace should be to her liking..using with 1,2,3
Race 2 - #4 New Talent - needs a flat mile so will be watching warmups..using with 1,5,6
Race 3 - #7 Devil Child - monsterous since Oakes purchase and keeps TT..using with 1,2,5
Race 4 - #6 Bright Baby Blues - will be up close and just missed vs chalk..using with 3,4,5
Race 5 - #2 Freaky Feet Pete - has lived up to his name..best 3 yr old going period..using with 3,4,6
Race 6 - #7 Habitat - recent purchase and hoping Burke has him straight..using with 1,6,2
Race 7 - #3 Always B Miki - head and shoulders above this field..using with5,2,6
Race 8 - #6 Im So Handsome - drops a notch in wide open race..using with 3,4,7
Race 9 - #4 Why Ask Why - blocked in last or was a winner..need to trip out though..using with 6,8,5
Race 10 - #3 Sunset Dreamer - slow middle half cost him a better finish..due for a great trip..using with 4,7,8
Race 11 - #5 Sparkin Your Fire - romping winner should repeat here..using with 3,1,7
Race 12- #5 Make It Work - 2 for 2 in barn that knows him well..using with 4,10,2

good luck all
