We leave the field and head to the Twin Spires for fall KY racing and look at the seven ladies set to go a mile and a sixteenth on the famed Louisville oval and the Locust Grove (GII).  Nothing makes me run to the window, so I’ll let the Green Card continue with the picks and they like Pink Attack in this one.  She’s a classy 7yo and her only ’24 score came back in April, but she’s been close in a number of races, and looks to get back in the winner’s circle here.  They are taking Queen Evade Party in the second spot, trying to nail down the exacta… She hasn’t won since Feb but has been in some very classy races and the card thinks she will bounce back nicely if the track stays dry… and weather could play a major factor, if it does turn up wet.
