Big middle move en route to Del Mar stakes score off private purchase

Close debut second to Good Samaritan gained luster after Summer Stakes; crushed Belmont maidens second out
Parlor Eddie Kenneally 74-50 15-1 Bourbon, Keeneland, Oct. 9
Overcame trouble in debut, couldn't quite do so in stakes; talented, under radar

These juvie races are far from my strong points as far as capping goes and I likely won't bet much here, but Big Score looks legit for the local runner, and of the Euros I have slight preference for Lancaster Bomber, mainly due to Lasix, his post and his early speed. Channel Maker and Rodaini are my longshots. I most likely will box Big Score, Channel Maker and/or just bet Channel Maker across. Thought his last race was better than his finish position..
I think Bowies Hero will be a huge overlay :chickendance:
