TZL is a very, very nice horse and can certainly prove me wrong today,
but I think anyone would have to question whether his record is a bit dressed up a bit + isn't going to be worth betting anywhere even close to the price he is going to go off at.

Horizontally, yes TLZ is a defensive include, but playing against vertically for the top spot.
Slight correction. He only has one stakes win and that was at Los Alamitos. He did not run in the Lewis or the San Felipe.

I liked his win at Los Al and watching Thousand Words, who looked completely overmatched against him, come back and win the Shared Belief with the fastest Beyer in a 3yo prep, while beating the SA Derby winner, that validated Uncle Chuck a little bit more.

I think Max Player, who ran a big race - by far his best - in the Belmont, will run well here...

Apologies - as I mentioned in my editing response I had about 6 different charts open and confused the two. King's response bolded is the direction I was going, admittedly poorly. Thanks for the correction - good luck today!

I didn't use Bellafina in any of my wagers as she has never won outside Ca.

Gamine is obviously really good (drug test pending) but Rosario handed her the race.
