I know you are both fans of Attilas Storm. What are your thoughts regarding his chances tomorrow in the very tough Vosburgh? Can he outsprint Henny to the lead?

You both know who I like. War Front. Think the race sets up perfectly for him, much like the Vanderbilt at Toga. He has to beat Silver Train, in my opinion its these 2.

I think Attila's Storm gets the lead easy and same with you love War Front in this one. Only thing to be careful of is Silver Train drew the outside meaning no horse next to him and since only 5 horses in this 1, #5 is not a bad place to be. Henny Hughes got the rail and he will be boxed in with no place to go, the rail is the death in these types of races.

Who's the Cowboy gets a nice price(20/1) may get up there if Silver Train does not fire

THis is his prep. He isn't supposed to win this, and that is a seriously tough layoff against this caliber.

Good point Randall.. The trainers for all the other horses are probably thinking BC next... except Dutrow for SILVER TRAIN. It's highly unlikely they ship him to Churchill.. this is his BC, being at Belmont(his favorite track--by far ) I think he gets it done, again.

Zippy, I'll let price be my guide tomorrow. I think Silver and War Front are closer than people think, the Tom Fool sort of proved that out, but if War Front is significantly higher in price I'd have to play there, even though I think Silver Train is the more likely winner....Henny is a monster but he has to show me against older just like Wait a While did last week.

I have a lot of respect for War Front.. I watched the replay of the Tom Fool the other day, and you're right, they're very close. If War Front stays close to his morning line odds (7/2), he's a very smart value play. I think Silver Train may actually be higher that he should be too(6/5 is about right to me), because a lot of money will be dumped on HH. It will be interesting to see where the odds shake out...

read on drf earlier today that dutrow is backing off those comments. there is a very good chance that ST will be trying to repeat as bc sprint winner!

and i'll be pulling for war front. a bit of a bias i suppose!
