As the Sword Dancer came up a solid alternative for those not of Arlington Million quality, this standard is a solid assembly of lesser light soph talent for those not up to the Secretariat. Outside quartet have lots of pace interest making it likely that the inside trio get to them in the late stages. (And note that the turf courses are finally playing completely fair after being speed-friendly the first third of the stand)..
