Verdict

SHADOWFAX is easily the best in this line up on known form and would be folly to ignore. The Last Duke has to come into the equation too, while Turn It Up might be hard to keep out of the minor money.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Firm

A dry turf course, equal to a ‘fast’ dirt track.
