I would love to get Damon in the number as well. I think you have to include the Echo Again. He looks like the most talented horse in the race, although a mile might be too much.
Kangaroo is a complete pitch IMO

Steve literally just said he’s considering singling Kangaroo Court.
I think that’s sort of crazy but maybe it’ll pay off. I know not to read too much into jockey decisions but a bit surprised Prat hops off that horse. I’ve considered tossing. Do we really think he can win while stepping up in class AND stretching out?
The recent trend for winners of this race has been horses who flunked out of Derby preps. Jack Christopher (long layoff) and Funny Duck (turf horse who never won again but paid $80+ to win) are the two exceptions in the last 6 years (Jackie’s Warrior, Rushie, Mr. money, Wild Shot).
