American Pharaoh,Dortmund,Carpe Diem, Materiality, Stanford Ocho Ocho ...all seem to want to be on the gas.
Firing Line, Upstart, Itsaknockout, Danzig Moon...the stalkers
War Story, International Star, El Kabeir,Frosted, Far Right ...the closers
Makes you wonder....

Stanford will finish the race last after trying (and not being the slightest bit effective) in pressing a pace he's never seen.
War Story has tried that whole "closing/stalking deal" against much lesser and has failed 3 times in a row in NOLA.
Personally, I think this is a Barbaro-type walk over for American Pharoah.
