Race comment
OVERVIEW: Rarely has there been a contest where pre-race interviews will be of more meaning than tonight’s Casey Classic. Here are just a few of the critical questions which should shape the race. Will MISTER WICKHAM (1) hunt through hard to hold his spot early after drawing gate ne for the first time in almost seven years? Will ALPINE STRIDE (4) hold the top if he gets across? And will REACTOR NOW (5) and ALWAYS FAST (6) re-engage their early speed after switching to more conservative tactics tackling elite company at recent outings? Since we can definitely answer exactly zero of these questions right now we’ll just rely on form which favours speedball ALWAYS FAST (6). That fellow may rip forward early as indicated but even if he doesn’t he can still outpace these late. His chief dangers include MISTER WICKHAM (1) who was roaring through the line last week and may secure the ideal trip, BETTOR BE THE BOMB (11) who’s enjoyed an outrageously good last couple of months and MALCOLMS RHYTHM (8) who’s also going great but draws for plenty of strife. It goes without saying that OUR UNCLE SAM (9) could potentially blow these away if he gets it all right but his Vic campaign seems cursed so he needs a change of luck. EARLY SPEED: 4,5?,6? + 3,7? RATINGS: 6/ 1/ 11/ 8/ 9/ 2/ 4/ 7/ 5/ 10/ 3

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Rarely has there been a contest where pre-race interviews will be of more meaning than tonight’s Casey Classic. Here are just a few of the critical questions which should shape the race. Will MISTER WICKHAM (1) hunt through hard to hold his spot early after drawing gate ne for the first time in almost seven years? Will ALPINE STRIDE (4) hold the top if he gets across? And will REACTOR NOW (5) and ALWAYS FAST (6) re-engage their early speed after switching to more conservative tactics tackling elite company at recent outings? Since we can definitely answer exactly zero of these questions right now we’ll just rely on form which favours speedball ALWAYS FAST (6). That fellow may rip forward early as indicated but even if he doesn’t he can still outpace these late. His chief dangers include MISTER WICKHAM (1) who was roaring through the line last week and may secure the ideal trip, BETTOR BE THE BOMB (11) who’s enjoyed an outrageously good last couple of months and MALCOLMS RHYTHM (8) who’s also going great but draws for plenty of strife. It goes without saying that OUR UNCLE SAM (9) could potentially blow these away if he gets it all right but his Vic campaign seems cursed so he needs a change of luck. EARLY SPEED: 4,5?,6? + 3,7? RATINGS: 6/ 1/ 11/ 8/ 9/ 2/ 4/ 7/ 5/ 10/ 3

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Rarely has there been a contest where pre-race interviews will be of more meaning than tonight’s Casey Classic. Here are just a few of the critical questions which should shape the race. Will MISTER WICKHAM (1) hunt through hard to hold his spot early after drawing gate ne for the first time in almost seven years? Will ALPINE STRIDE (4) hold the top if he gets across? And will REACTOR NOW (5) and ALWAYS FAST (6) re-engage their early speed after switching to more conservative tactics tackling elite company at recent outings? Since we can definitely answer exactly zero of these questions right now we’ll just rely on form which favours speedball ALWAYS FAST (6). That fellow may rip forward early as indicated but even if he doesn’t he can still outpace these late. His chief dangers include MISTER WICKHAM (1) who was roaring through the line last week and may secure the ideal trip, BETTOR BE THE BOMB (11) who’s enjoyed an outrageously good last couple of months and MALCOLMS RHYTHM (8) who’s also going great but draws for plenty of strife. It goes without saying that OUR UNCLE SAM (9) could potentially blow these away if he gets it all right but his Vic campaign seems cursed so he needs a change of luck. EARLY SPEED: 4,5?,6? + 3,7?

OVERVIEW: Rarely has there been a contest where pre-race interviews will be of more meaning than tonight’s Casey Classic. Here are just a few of the critical questions which should shape the race. Will MISTER WICKHAM (1) hunt through hard to hold his spot early after drawing gate ne for the first time in almost seven years? Will ALPINE STRIDE (4) hold the top if he gets across? And will REACTOR NOW (5) and ALWAYS FAST (6) re-engage their early speed after switching to more conservative tactics tackling elite company at recent outings? Since we can definitely answer exactly zero of these questions right now we’ll just rely on form which favours speedball ALWAYS FAST (6). That fellow may rip forward early as indicated but even if he doesn’t he can still outpace these late. His chief dangers include MISTER WICKHAM (1) who was roaring through the line last week and may secure the ideal trip, BETTOR BE THE BOMB (11) who’s enjoyed an outrageously good last couple of months and MALCOLMS RHYTHM (8) who’s also going great but draws for plenty of strife.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Rarely has there been a contest where pre-race interviews will be of more meaning than tonight’s Casey Classic. Here are just a few of the critical questions which should shape the race. Will MISTER WICKHAM (1) hunt through hard to hold his spot early after drawing gate ne for the first time in almost seven years? Will ALPINE STRIDE (4) hold the top if he gets across? And will REACTOR NOW (5) and ALWAYS FAST (6) re-engage their early speed after switching to more conservative tactics tackling elite company at recent outings? Since we can definitely answer exactly zero of these questions right now we’ll just rely on form which favours speedball ALWAYS FAST (6). That fellow may rip forward early as indicated but even if he doesn’t he can still outpace these late. His chief dangers include MISTER WICKHAM (1) who was roaring through the line last week and may secure the ideal trip, BETTOR BE THE BOMB (11) who’s enjoyed an outrageously good last couple of months and MALCOLMS RHYTHM (8) who’s also going great but draws for plenty of strife. It goes without saying that OUR UNCLE SAM (9) could potentially blow these away if he gets it all right but his Vic campaign seems cursed so he needs a change of luck. EARLY SPEED: 4,5?,6? + 3,7? RATINGS: 6/ 1/ 11/ 8/ 9/ 2/ 4/ 7/ 5/ 10/ 3
