I can tell you right now...Price Tag is going to be awful tough going 1 mile. That is her ideal distance and the race she ran in the Gamely showed that while she is immensely talented, she probably doesn't really want nine furlongs. Prado is headed out west to jump on and I'm not enamored with any of the American contingent, especially since Wait A While seems to have been exposed. Although I will admit Lady of Venice could be a bit more than I think.
I was a little surprised by the placement of the race on the card. Race 5 makes it Leg B of the Pick 6, but it misses both the early and late Pick 4. I guess it had to be run at a reasonable hour for increased handle (it's scheduled to go at midnight EDT).
Should be a good race and it looks like this particular event is on its way to being a solid GI with a great position on the calendar.
