I'm pulling for the Ridgling.

Seriously, High Finance might have a chance here.

I have no clue... when you look up High Blues on pedigreequery, it says that he's a colt. That's a good question because I haven't seen very many ridglings (not on thoroughbreds anyway.)

Yeah, they mark it as an r. noticed it on last year's Haskell winner all the time because I was dead set to lose most of my 2005 pennies on him.

If Bright One is half as good as I have been told repeatedly, he wins this race like Bernardini won his Jim Dandy, and then the two decide who the best 3yr old is in the Travers.
