Any idea if the Woody Stephens is part of the pick 4?

It will certainly be in the Pick 4 if the prospective field enters.

FYI, it has been in the Pick 4 9 of the last 10 years, with the only exception being 2010. That running had a field of five.

Love, he probably is going to be second choice.

@DRFGrening: Always in a Tiz will skip Belmont Stakes and instead run in the Easy Goer on Saturday, per racing manager Anthony Bonomo Jr. Field now 14.

2:30.4 good lord.

oh, and yay, pletcher wins after starting 1/3 of the field.

Super excited for Palace Malice's win, but this Triple Crown season definitely belonged to Oxbow.

What a tough horse.

If Pletcher had to win, I'm glad it wasn't with on of the Clown Shows horses!

yeah, that's what i said to my husband-well, i didn't say 'clown show'. :D

Claire Novak just linked to this photo of Palace Malice as a foal.

If you are hinted that Oxbow ran better than PM today, I would disagree.
But you may not be at all..

I think she means overall. Palace Malice was the better horse on Saturday. Oxbow was likely the best horse overall. And I agree with that sentiment.

Yep! :)
