I'm going to be on vacation, and thus won't be playing the race, but I don't think I see it that way at all.
What makes you think Cloudy's Knight is so unbeatable?

did you just look at the names or have you handicapped the race? You make statements that seem like you see names and just make you assessments.

i looked at the race... thats what being a drf plus member does for me...I NEVER MAKE ASSESSMENTS WITHOUT LOOKING, i will be betting lattice to win/place and boxing him with ap, as long as its firm... if that changes then my wager could change.

cloudys nights comeback is hard to gage for me.... i think you can look at it 2 ways, #1.. the distance was way shorter then his best and it was a perfect prep for this...#2 " and this is how im looking at it " his beyers laid over that field, he was the class of the race and should have ran better then he did, and he could have very well lost a step at the age of 8

looking to play against A.P. Xcellent, although he probably doesn't get a ton of money in this spot anyway.

He's a guy I felt Shirreffs squeezed every last drop out of. I think this could very well be his last graded stakes try.
Maybe I am wrong. If you like him, and think he might win the front end, I hope you hit it.

Also let me note that 5/1 on Lattice will not happen, more like 5/2 or even 2/1

As Scav indicated, Lattice could end up being the favorite by post time.
It was still a bit confusing, however, when you posted that it was going to be tough to beat the chalk, and then you weren't talking about the ML favorite. It got more confusing for me when it turned out that by "the chalk" you actually meant two different horses.

I'm as big a Cloudy's Knight fan as anyone around here, but I don't see him winning this. I'll cover his number on everything I play involving that race, but I think Lattice is the one to beat.

Telling is interesting as a potential price play if those two take big money....
