Timber Reserve is entered to run in the Whitney! He is out of half sister to my mare Express to Boston.

Commentator on the rail going a 1 1/8...looks like he will see some pressure, but is the speed and should have the lead most of the way, however I still don't like his chances and he certain to be a short price. There looks to be a couple at least that could press him. There is one horse in here I feel good about, and the works are very strong. Kimmel's Timber Reserve has been working like a horse on a mission. Has not raced since January, it looks like this a race they have had in mind for sometime. Draws outside and should be able to get a stalking strip hopefully. Sports a solid win at a 1 1/8 in the PA Derby. Kimmel looks to have him ready for a big effort. Horse is a live sleeper and will be used in pick bets and a win play.

Other contenders are Solar Flare and Notional

Timber Reserve is also entered in the Skip Away at Monmouth Park. I think they will go in the Whitney.

Desite the good works, I think it's tough to win a race like the Whitney after a long layoff. Solar Flare is a horse that's racing fit and can take advantage coming from off a hot pace.

I think Rising Moon has a big shot, in his third race off that long layoff, and he will be a square price.

I saw that Rising Moon was vanned off - story said sore left leg.

Does anyone know if there is an update?
