The field was OK. I personally like Mint Lane a great deal.. think he's a real horse.. and played him accordingly yesterday at what was a big overlay number. He went a lot faster than J. Jerkens was hoping for, and while no match for the winner, ran a very nice race.
Casino Drive's running style is exceedingly conducive for the Belmont... (And I'm not going to state the obvious about him being bred well for Belmont Stakes success..  )
