What a good race this open allowance is — full of stakes horses and similar quality runners. The morning line favorite is #1 Eastern Bay (8-5), who won the G3 General George earlier this year, but we’re inclined to try to beat him. He ran a stinker last out when he bled and was eased and has been away nearly three months. He gets Lasix back on, which should help, but at such short odds, we’ll take a wait-and-see attitude with him… #7 Classier (7-2) was fractious in the gate, washy, and unprepared at the start in his last, and for all that, he didn’t run a terrible race, beaten less than four lengths for all of it. All five to run back have finished in the triple in their next… #3 Al Loves Josie (9-2) exits the same race as Classier and finished just behind him. He didn’t run badly in his prior visit to CT… Good effort last out for #4 Dontmesawithme (5-1) to be second (at 15-1) behind the sometimes-very-good Zabracadabra…
