I think I like Rebel Rebel in this spot. I think he will be a decent price and can nip Remarkable News at the wire.

Very interesting race that I want to handicapp more deeply, who do you think will go off as the favorite? possibly that Frankel runner? Three Valleys or Remakable News maybe.

Three Valleys takes this, i have been off the Ad Valorem train a long time now

[FATPIANO]

The winner will be the 8 horse, just like The Derby/Preakness/Belmont/Hambletonian/Woodward/Forego..............three valleys

[post2post]

rebel rebel has had a difficult yr health wise....i

[horse for the course]

I like Three Valleys too. Looks like he is sitting on a big effort but not sure if he like the soft turf. I could also Therecomesatiger and Diamond Green hitting the board.

Nice to see PVal back.

Just watched the two earlier turf stakes be won by horses who led (or was fighting for the lead), pillar to post. Who in the Mile likes to run that way?

I didn't handicap the race but it looks like a very contentious field. It is a 13 horse field with a ton of graded stakes winners in there. I see alot of familiar names in there. Horses like Sweet Return, Remarkable News, Three Valleys and Rebel Rebel are in there. There are also several good European and Canadien horses in there.

This race used to be called The Atto Mile.

Hey Richi, on the same card today in the Summer Stakes, Dreaming Of Anna stretches out and takes on the boys today. She set the track record this summer at Colonial during the Tippet stakes going either 5 or 5.5 Furlongs on the grass.

I was looking at the Thorograph sheets this morning for this race and man is this ever an evenly matched field. I definitely would not bet on anyone here unless you get some value. I can't really say who I am leaning towards until I see how the betting goes.

And yes the Summer Stakes for 2 year olds looks to be a very good race there are a couple of horses in here that could turn out to be good horses. Right now I am leaning toward Approval Rating he certainly has the pedigree to be a good one plus he has had a race over the course.

[Danzig]

arravale also running up there today.

It will be firm and hot (80 degrees), which makes it an interesting race.....

I think Ad Valorem would be tough on firm ground, but will a Euro react well in 80-degree heat?....tough call..

Three Valleys should be tough too.....

[Pedigree Ann]

Despite having a three-day pounding headache, I will try to find a winner so I can stay in the top 50 at Public Handicapper. Hard to make sound decisions when the brain is on the blink. Any pointers would be of help.

Horses I consider possible contenders are Therecomesatiger, Ad Valorem,
Remakable News, Three Valleys, Rebel Rebel (2/2 in one-turn miles in
the US), Captain Kurt. What am I missing?

Is on the Drysdale horse Nakatani injured

Is there any chance Vanderlin actually goes off at 30-1? I'd love him at 20-1.
