I tried to work it out so he'd be 16 but couldn't quite justify it with the sorry collection of horses behind him.

I'll post mine contingent upon the post position draw. I do think that has an impact, unless you just want my ranking of how the horses are at this point talent wise?

You guys think Tiago is a better CLOSER option than CQ?

Doesn't matter if people want to wait for the post position draw. I think it is pretty overrated though as there is a likelihood that a horse will run into traffic problems in a 20 horse field regardless of which post position they draw. It is highly doubtful that my opinions will change based on the post positions.

At 10 furlongs, yes. Don't like the fact that CQ is off the layoff and hasn't gone more than 8.5. I also think he has a knack for finding trouble which isn't going to be good in a 20 horse field. Even without those factors he wouldn't be higher than 5th on my list.

1,2 (tie) Curlin, Street Sense
3 AGS
4 Nobiz
5 CQ

I think Curlin and SS are the most likely to win the race. I also think they will be among the worst bets to win.

Tiago, Scat Daddy, Great Hunter, Stormello, Cowtown Cat, Zanjero, Storm in May, Cobalt Blue, Teuflesberg. Those are the only horses that have 3 syllables so they are the only ones that can win. Not sure about Bwana Bull cause I cant pronounce it.
