Is Indian Blessing going to run? Everything I had read said no and then she shows up in the entry box but Johnny V has a full day planned at GP.

If she does run, it would have to be without Johnny V as I doubt he could get off all those mounts he has at Gulfstream (including the live mount he has in the G1 Donn).

Baffert doesn't sound likely to run but if he does, it's worth it to take off 10 mounts at Gulfstream for her.....just to have her get her ass kicked again by Ventura.

Gonna go with Jibboom to pull the upset. Frankel doesn't usually like to run his against each other unless he thinks both have a chance. He could have skipped this spot and run her against Visit in an upcoming race and is going here instead so my gut feeling is that he thinks Ventura is more vulnerable than Visit. I love the angle of playing the longer shot when a trainer already has a strong favorite. Also, she's getting an eight-pound weight break and has some races under her belt and has performed well on this track.

There's about a 90% chance he'll scratch one of those two, most likely the one you want to bet.
