Seeing the potential for regression from the favorites, Eskimo Kisses and Blue Prize, in today's Grade 1 Spinster at Keeneland, I am intrigued by 8-1 shot Champagne Problems. My view is that she warrants win and gimmicks play in addition to being used in the late pick three.

DREAMCALL (#1) made her New York debut in the Royal Delta last time and was uncompetitive against a pair of today’s rivals. However, I don’t think circumstances were in her favor that day.
Generally, when I look at a day’s races at any given track, I’m searching for opportunity in a multirace sequence, whether it be a daily double, pick three, pick four, pick five or pick six. Occasionally, a scenario presents itself where a horse is entered in a spot that I’ve anxiously been waiting for; typically, I’ll look to build my multis around said horse, but in an instance like the one presented on Saturday, I don’t want to come up empty if he happens to run well but doesn’t win. In a rare shift from my multirace focus, I’ll look to the City of Hope Mile at Santa Anita on Saturday, keying a horse throughout in trifectas.
