Not a fan of Magnum Moon especially after yesterday.

I think Magnum Moon is better as a stalker or closer than as a pace setter, but he had no choice. Not a whole lot of other speed in there to go with Quip. I was surprised that Quip hung around, but the early pace was slow, I think, so maybe that accounts for that? Or maybe I'm just not giving Quip his due. He may be just one of those horses that I continually misjudge.

How about Bee Jersey? Just watched replays. He was strong.

I'm using 3 horses, unless something crazy happens in the draw.
Justify and Hofburg are my As and Vino is like a c/b. |

I like that he has 3 two-turn victories this year, and has won at 3 different tracks. Seems versatile enough to be placed near or off the pace. I'm not going to hold it against him that he was able to run a slow second quarter, or that he drifted out/got distracted down the stretch. He looked professional in his other races and like his pedigree. He's in my top 3 now, but I'll see how it comes into the race and what post position he gets before making any definitive opinions about him. |
