Private Zone for Vosburgh at last report, I believe.

Alpha obviously caught a flyer in the Woodward, but I wonder if they will be up on the pace? (and help set it up for ORRRRBBBB! :D )

What a great day on Saturday.

:tro:

usually don't miss it....will this year, tho.

Agree. Other then the Beldame these races are wide open.

Beldame though is awesome.

A little bit of Ferdinand (older horse) taking on Alysheba (3yo) feel to it.

I don't think its that competitive.... Taking nothing away from Princess. Reminds me of Delta vs HDG in the same race a few years back.

I agree, I don't think there is enough other pace for Princess of Sylmar to catch RD.

I am less concerned about lack of pace and feel as Princess of Sylmar has gained more experience she can put herself into the race as needed.

My concern would be the rail which is more than helpful now.

If anyone goes to the track and doesn't want their commemorative button, I'll take it. :o

Royal Delta is one of the most unreliable top horses around, although I get her poor showing at Churchill was because of a lasix reaction. I could never trust singling her.

You can have mine

Really? Toss the 2 races in Dubia and the race you mentioned and her record is 8 races seven wins and a second. I think Princess of Sylmar is a terrific horse but in this spot I will be singling RD on most tickets.

This is kind of silly. 2 of her bad races were Dubai World Cups. Again taking nothing away from Princess, but she has 1 fast race. What other race makes her even competitve? The 3yr old filly division looked loaded and it kind of fell apart. Beholder comes back with a mid 70's beyer. Julia out until Gulfstream. Close Hatches was hurt and is just getting back. Unlimited Budget fell apart at Saratoga, I have no clue where she is. Princess is good, but a lot of things went well for her. Im not even talking about the inside speed bias, and the lack of other speed in the race both of those things should help Delta on Saturday.

Yay - Thanks!

I don't like Orb's chances to win, but its at least nice to have the Derby winner in the JCGC. When was the last time that happened? It seems like its been awhile.

I think Funny Cide the year after he won the Derby.

Great fields... can't wait... I DO think Princess wins. :)

I'm against Cross Traffic in the JCGC and think the 3 year olds have a chance.
