R2KyD today - rescheduled SW Stakes

After yesterday, I'm 4 for 5 now in the SHOWdown. There goes the $1M this year. But i'm fighting on for the Ky derby tickets or a hat :) Today it's the 50th running of the SW Stakes, a couple of changes from Monday's planned line up, the PP redrawn, and a cold, rainy day with a sloppy track. But my selection is still Zayat Stable's #11 Mr Z. Again draws the outside, now in #11, for the SHOWdown. Only won a maiden but multi graded stakes placed incl. G1 & G2. He's drawn out in 11, but has early pace and I hope he gets away cleanly, doesn't get trapped too wide and proves too strong. The other main chances now are 3,5,6. #3 Hillbilly Royalty is interesting and has won on a sloppy sealed. New in here and coming of a fast OC win at only 2nd start. Result: Mr Z crossed to lead, headed in the stretch, but fighting back tenaciously and hung on for 3rd and yet another graded stakes placing, pay off #3.40. #6 won. #8 finished 2nd. So i'm 5 for 6.
