We were leery of our Pick’s rail position last week but we thought 10-to-1 were tempting enough odds to take a chance on a gimmick play. We were therefore stunned when Saintsation was pounded down to 3-to-2 –but she still got off tardily and wound up last. Such is life. However, 10 BreezeFigs maidens won during the week at: Gulfstream (four, including a BreezeFigs trifecta and two BreezeFigs exactas), Parex, Sam Houston, Santa Anita and Tampa Bay (three).

By rights, one should come up with a play in the signature race (races, actually) of the weekend, the Grade 2, $400,000 Risen Star, the prep for the Louisiana Derby that attracted so many entrants it was splint into two divisions. Instead, I’ll just talk about those races because I don’t have a substantive enough opinion in either to plot a play.

Group 1 winner in Argentina pulled away from a nice field of fillies and mares in the final sixteenth of an allowance route that marked her first start since June and first in North America. She remains undefeated in five starts and will be considered for the Grade 1, $1 million Apple Blossom at Oaklawn, according to trainer Steve Asmussen.
MR. QUALITY

Got loose briefly pre-start, then made a little middle move before tiring in decent debut; should benefit from the experience, as the works he showed prior to this debut did hint at some ability.
