$300.000  4yo&Up     1 1/8m Dirt   124lbs


A big day of racing here at TP with the Ruby and the Bourbonette, but let’s not get carried away… we get a nice field of six set to go a mile and an eighth in the KY Cup Classic (GII), and I think this is a race where everyone deserves a big look.  We can’t do that here, so let’s look at Charming Man as the top selection… he looked good taking the San Pascal (GIII) at SA, and that was at the distance, and add in that he won the Ont Derby (GIII) at the distance, the Super Derby at the distance… you get the picture.  Four wins in a row for Speightstown, so let’s give that one a big look here, as well.  I’m shocked we have such a small field, but isn’t that the way things are going?
