In this field, if you give me 10-1 I will bet Einstein to win for $5, but no more. And this field isn't even all that great.
On paper Gio Ponte and Cime de Triomphe are the obvious standouts. The key here is going back and watching the Eclipse(and maybe a couple other foreign flicks) and making my judgment as to whether or not he "lost the jump" on conduit in the trouble line, regressed, or whether conduit improved/used the blue gerard.. as prep.
Einstein desperately needs Presious Passion's(how can you not root for this horse?) PACE to take the 3 foreign shippers out of there game(Glorio de campo is probably reall not a contender, so "2" )
But even with the best "American" style pace and the worst reactions frome CIME n co. , Gio Ponte looks like he would benefit at this point just as much and have his table set.

Again, im not touting Einstein to win here. I just don't understand how you could say he is not to at least be respected. He is a multiple grade 1 winner on turf and one of the 5-10 best horses in training in the US.
