Would be an amazing story coming from 16K mcl race (of note from that race was Math Wizard who ran a nice 4th in Wood) to win this.

He will be on my tickets too and I will be surprised if he is not the race favorite, but there will also be a lot of support for Roadster as reflected in the Futures. That said, I don't see a lot of challengers for the role of pacesetter except for Omaha Beach and that one seems faster. At least faster early, but who knows, hard to evaluate on just a handful of races.
Maybe Max is not as one dimensional as his last two races seem to indicate.
