Haven't spent a second handicapping it yet .. but here are some extremely unvaluable fun tidbits.
Causeway's Kin gets a pretty huge trainer change in the 1st. Thomas The Great returns from the grave.
Praying For Cash is in for a 40K tag in the 2nd race - he's gone downhill a bit since running 2nd to Bluegrass Rat in the Haskell.
Rexson's Rose goes in the 6th race - he's currently on a 33 race losing streak - which includes a 2nd place finish to the all-mighty Commentator in the Richter Scale..one of just 3 lifetime Graded Stakes wins by the 2nd best horse of the decade to never win a championship. He faces P. Giacopelli's big horse and a bunch of others who will be much stronger bet.
If Quality Road is right mentally and physically - he should be able to almost name his margin in the Hal's Hope.
