Race comment
OVERVIEW: These races, which combine horses hoping to become free-for-all competitors and those that have been to the Penthouse but are struggling to break through at this level, are superb. One of the chief reasons that they work so well is that the pseudo-topliners finally get their chance for success, and in this event – despite the fact their national ratings say different – those pseudo stars are HULI NIEN (9) and BULLETPROOF BOY (12). Given his preferred racing pattern, HULI NIEN (9) always requires a healthy dose of fortune in his races, but tonight’s trailing draw suits him down to the ground and as a result he ever-so-narrowly gets the nod over BULLETPROOF BOY (12) though there’s really nothing between them. Importantly, both horses – despite having a class edge on their adversaries – are sit-sprinters by nature, which creates opportunities for better drawn rivals. Chief among their potential assassins are comprised by RICK REILLY (2) who is in from around 10 months of the year, and MAJOR MEISTER (6) who definitely has that open class potential referenced above. EARLY SPEED: 1,6 + 2 SELECTIONS: HULI NIEN (9), BULLETPROOF BOY (12), RICK REILLY (2), MAJOR MEISTER (6) RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 1/ 5/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 5 SUGGESTED BET: Flexi Exacta: 9,12/ 2,6,9,12 ($30 gets 500%) EARLY SPEED: 1,6 + 2 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 1/ 5/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: These races, which combine horses hoping to become free-for-all competitors and those that have been to the Penthouse but are struggling to break through at this level, are superb. One of the chief reasons that they work so well is that the pseudo-topliners finally get their chance for success, and in this event – despite the fact their national ratings say different – those pseudo stars are HULI NIEN (9) and BULLETPROOF BOY (12). Given his preferred racing pattern, HULI NIEN (9) always requires a healthy dose of fortune in his races, but tonight’s trailing draw suits him down to the ground and as a result he ever-so-narrowly gets the nod over BULLETPROOF BOY (12) though there’s really nothing between them. Importantly, both horses – despite having a class edge on their adversaries – are sit-sprinters by nature, which creates opportunities for better drawn rivals. Chief among their potential assassins are comprised by RICK REILLY (2) who is in from around 10 months of the year, and MAJOR MEISTER (6) who definitely has that open class potential referenced above. EARLY SPEED: 1,6 + 2 SELECTIONS: HULI NIEN (9), BULLETPROOF BOY (12), RICK REILLY (2), MAJOR MEISTER (6) RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 1/ 5/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 5 SUGGESTED BET: Flexi Exacta: 9,12/ 2,6,9,12 ($30 gets 500%) EARLY SPEED: 1,6 + 2 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 1/ 5/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: These races, which combine horses hoping to become free-for-all competitors and those that have been to the Penthouse but are struggling to break through at this level, are superb. One of the chief reasons that they work so well is that the pseudo-topliners finally get their chance for success, and in this event – despite the fact their national ratings say different – those pseudo stars are HULI NIEN (9) and BULLETPROOF BOY (12). Given his preferred racing pattern, HULI NIEN (9) always requires a healthy dose of fortune in his races, but tonight’s trailing draw suits him down to the ground and as a result he ever-so-narrowly gets the nod over BULLETPROOF BOY (12) though there’s really nothing between them. Importantly, both horses – despite having a class edge on their adversaries – are sit-sprinters by nature, which creates opportunities for better drawn rivals. Chief among their potential assassins are comprised by RICK REILLY (2) who is in from around 10 months of the year, and MAJOR MEISTER (6) who definitely has that open class potential referenced above. EARLY SPEED: 1,6 + 2 SELECTIONS: HULI NIEN (9), BULLETPROOF BOY (12), RICK REILLY (2), MAJOR MEISTER (6) RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 1/ 5/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 5 SUGGESTED BET: Flexi Exacta: 9,12/ 2,6,9,12 ($30 gets 500%) EARLY SPEED: 1,6 + 2 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 1/ 5/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 5

Race comment
OVERVIEW: These races, which combine horses hoping to become free-for-all competitors and those that have been to the Penthouse but are struggling to break through at this level, are superb. One of the chief reasons that they work so well is that the pseudo-topliners finally get their chance for success, and in this event – despite the fact their national ratings say different – those pseudo stars are HULI NIEN (9) and BULLETPROOF BOY (12). Given his preferred racing pattern, HULI NIEN (9) always requires a healthy dose of fortune in his races, but tonight’s trailing draw suits him down to the ground and as a result he ever-so-narrowly gets the nod over BULLETPROOF BOY (12) though there’s really nothing between them. Importantly, both horses – despite having a class edge on their adversaries – are sit-sprinters by nature, which creates opportunities for better drawn rivals. Chief among their potential assassins are comprised by RICK REILLY (2) who is in from around 10 months of the year, and MAJOR MEISTER (6) who definitely has that open class potential referenced above. EARLY SPEED: 1,6 + 2 SELECTIONS: HULI NIEN (9), BULLETPROOF BOY (12), RICK REILLY (2), MAJOR MEISTER (6) RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 1/ 5/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 5 SUGGESTED BET: Flexi Exacta: 9,12/ 2,6,9,12 ($30 gets 500%) EARLY SPEED: 1,6 + 2 RATINGS: 9/ 12/ 2/ 6/ 8/ 10/ 1/ 5/ 11/ 4/ 7/ 5
