RACE THREE TRIP NOTES by The Wizard on Saturday, July 18, 2009

6-5 favorite RUN FOR IT, was fractious in the gate. Broke slow, then was rushed up to chase along the rail. Swung out at the top of the stretch, and was under a stiff drive to run down the longshot pacesetter NOSTALGIC, who improved in her second start. The final 1/8th of a mile was slow, so I would downgrade the chances of those who could not close well behind the top two the next time any of those run.
