RTKYD'11 WEEK 9: $1M La. Dby

The RTD gets busier this weekend with 3 big races, headed by the $1M La. Dby Gr 2/9f at the Fairgrounds, featuring #10-Mucho Macho Man (109,B94), #17-Wilkinson (108, B82)and #19-Pants On Fire (108,B82), plus Elite Alex (102, B85). Also the $500K Spiral Stks Gr.3/9f-syn at Turfway Park and tomorrow (Sunday)'s $800K Sunland Dby Gr3/9f, R12 at Sunland Park in NM, and featuring as 3rd fav Nacho Saint who i bet in the Gotham when an unlucky 4th, held up badly in the straight. Next weekend is a major milestone, the Gr 1 Fla Dby, 1 month out.

Results:
*La Drby: Pants On Fire (116) held off Nehro (115) with MMM (111) 3rd. POF goes to the top of my rankings; stalked, hit lead str but seemed to chnage leads a lot and not run out very strongly
*Spiral: Animal Kingdom (114)made a bold outside move on the far turn, took the lead in the stretch and had enough stamina to outlast/gamely turn back Decisive Moment (108), with further 2L to Twinspired 3rd (102)
* Sunland Dby: twicetheappeal made a big move on turn and too strong in tretch
