I agree...It seems like its stacking up as a classic betting race with a solid mix of all styles of horses...in my opinion, that usually favors horses with tactical speed to put themselves into the race for first jump on the speed because they also don't usually have the troubled trips weaving through traffic that deep closers do......
...I think Happy Ticket gets a great trip stalking in the second flight and beats this group by getting firs jump on the tiring leaders down that long CD stretch and holds off the hard-luck Balleto, who I think is a better closer than Pine Island...
