Race 7 Pick: Patch of Blue It is just possible that this 8-1 ML horse is a potential superstar. He has shown flashes of brilliance in his maiden and allowance win, and his 3rd place finish can be excused as he was coming off over a year layoff. He is in good hands, both trainer and jockey, and the favorite Midships is a little light on the speed figures. Patch of Blue is a must use in the exotics. The favorite looks good too but not at 3/5.
