I hate to say it, but aside from the Met, Monday's card is awful.

Mr. Fantasy out of Met Mile


By David Grening
Mr. Fantasy, the Grade 3 Withers winner, has been scratched out of Monday's Grade 1 Shadwell Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park due to a temperature, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said Sunday. Mr. Fantasy, one of two 3-year-olds entered in the race, will now try to make the Grade 2 Woody Stephens on June 6, McLaughlin said.

McLaughlin said Mr. Fantasy "wasn't acting quite right on the racetrack" Saturday morning and came back from his training session with a temperature of 102.

"He didn't have a good day," McLaughlin said. "We decided to take him out [of the race]. Hopefully, it's not a big enough issue where we have to miss the Woody Stephens. We'll point that way and hope for the best."

The scratch of Mr. Fantasy reduces the Met Mile field to 12 and takes one of the primary speed horses out of the race.

Mr. Fantasy has won 3 of 4 starts, highlighted by his 1 3/4-length victory in the Grade 3 Withers on April 25. That leaves Gotham runner-up Imperial Council as the lone 3-year-old in the field.

I really think Famous Patriot can get a slice of this race at an obscene price. He's a completely different horse around one turn.

I hate favorites but Bribon looked awfully impressive in his last, what would be a fair price for him I wonder....Smooth Air might be of better value due to his non supertrainer/jock connections.

Driven by Success for me, too. The scratch of Mr Fantasy helps him, but the odds will be half the ml

One race earlier(the 9th), Straight Story will be my win bet and DD with Driven by Success

I thought he moved way too early and didn't look as good as many thought under the wire. If he moves that early in a race like this, I think he's in trouble.

I will have to take another look, though you are usually spot on so I will take that as a fact, from I remember it was a powerful move and it was off of a layoff, he may have not been tight for the race, he should have no fitness problems today. Now that Bogey has mentioned it, I was sort of intrigued by Riley Tucker's seemingly improved form under Baffert and off of Poly, may be worth a token longshot bet and an include in exotics.
