With regards to the Hambletonian, Muscle Hill provides no value so while he may win, I'll look to take a stab with someone else. Without seeing a program, Explosive Matter is my first choice to consider for a mild upset. Federal Flex was just too bad for me last week to consider.

In the Oaks, there are several intriguing angles. Right now, I am leaning towards Moonlight Kronos. In her first start in North America, she came back to finish second in her elimination racing out of quarantine. With a North American start under her belt, she should be tighter; if she is able to come out of quarantine before the race, even better. One thing for certain, the Oaks will be the better wagering event.
