No way!!!
Link?
This years Classic field was about the worst ever.
Rip Van Winkle was 3/1 in the betting .. and he's only running a couple lengths faster than 2yo's in Europe going his best distance.
Summer Bird was 3rd choice in the betting .. he never ran on a synthetic track before and had less than ideal turf breeding.
Twice Over was 4th choice in the betting. He ran 3rd even though I thought he was struggling with the turns somewhat and didn't seem comfortable.
