Separation of powers are my core beliefs....take that double to the bank

Beautiful Penn Derby and Cotillion!

Penn Derby better than the Travers?

Yes. Not really close.

On the race track yes at the race track no and its king B.home

2-3-7-8 is your play in derby.king B it.

I guess it depends on what yardstick you use. If you are talking about G-1 winners, the Travers had two in Good Magic and Catholic Boy(on Turf). The PA Derby has one in McKenzie. Both races, if I am not mistaken, have 5 horses that have placed in G-1s.

Is anyone going to even consider betting against Monomoy Girl?

Sunny Ridge & Still Having Fun (PA Derby Champion) are running in the Kelso..

Yes, she looks formidable on paper, to put it mildly, but still I might put a few bucks on some of the usual suspects.:D Wonder Woman(Gadot) was only beaten a half length in the Oaks and has since added blinks. Midnight Bisou should benefit if the pacesetters over do it. Separation of Powers is entered by Chad Brown. No more explanation needed.

I'm tossing. She's a poor girls Songbird, good and accomplished but not really fast. I'm using 4,5,7.

Albin will send Jump Ruler as the sacrificial lamb and press Monomoy Girl but it wont work. Separation of Powers is interesting on the stretch out, but Midnight Bisou...this 8.5 distance is that girls bread and butter. Using three in my multis

Thanks for the responses. Looking at the competition, it may not be as clear cut as I originally thought.

I thought Midnight Bisou was beaten rather easily by Monomoy Girl a while back, but at a longer distance. Wonder Gadot is a possibility though I’m not sure she’s in her best racing form right now. I’m also not sure Monomoy is at her best either so I guess we’ll see. I’m starting to come around on the 5 as a solid alternative. I may swing for the fences and single Separationofpowers in a pick 4 and see what happens.

Baffert and Frankel...layoffs just don't matter whatsoever.
