Can Bordonaro run them off their feet today? Or will the speed horses set it up for closers like Siren Lure and Nightmare Affair?

I have Malibu Mint over Henny Hughes and Nightmare Affair. I think there's a lot of cheap speed in there and in my eyes, these are the class.

With my results so far today... bank on Henny Hughes to win!

I know that longshots have a history of winning this race so I'm trying to find a horse to beat HH... Thor's Echo? Pomeroy? I'm having a tough time trying to find one that beats Henny... any help or advice?

Otherwise, I'll probably do a HH/TE,P exacta

pomeroy is a legit choice here. altho i would like to see malibu pull it off, i don't like the post.
maybe play too much bling underneath. garret knows how to finish in the money so far today.

Longshots win when the 'name' horses are all front-running speed and kill each other off; then a 7-8f sort like Dancing Spree runs past them all to pay boxcars.

I sort of like Pomeroy as well. Wouldnt it be something though if Lewis Michael pulled it off? It would have to be the only time a mare has produced two Breeders' Cup winners. Justenuffheart would be a shoo-in for Broodmare of the Year. Its unlikely, but it would be amazing.

also, i would DEFINITELY play on war front. a good horse, his sire has been one of the best at producing bc winners, and he's trained by the giant killer. war front has had some good races this year, do not ignore him...

Siren Lure is the one who makes me nervous.

I love the way that War Front looks and carries himself. I think he is a nice, ****y colt with a great shot today as well.
