Recent Form & Racing Style

Fulleffort is a stalker with off-the-pace capability. He finished 5th to Further Ado in the Blue Grass (G1) in April and earned both career wins (including maiden win) have come on synthetic tracks. His stalking ability will be tested by fast field and his best bet to pass a few horses in the stretch to finish slightly better than otherwise.

Betting Outlook

Great White is in the field only because Silent Tactic scratched with a foot bruise, which tells you most of what you need to know. Both of his career wins came on Turfway Park’s synthetic Tapeta surface, and when he stepped up to real dirt in the Blue Grass at Keeneland, he set the pace and faded to a distant fifth and beaten by 221/4 lengths. He’s also a gelding prone to clumsy starts, which is a near-death sentence in a 20-horse field. At 50-1, the market has correctly assessed him as a throwout. Pass.
