Thanks for posting this...

I love Teuflesberg, but I don't like him in this spot. I haven't really looked at the PP's extensively, but at first glance, I like Tony Terrific. What are your thoughts?

I haven't looked at this race at all, just recognized a few names. Didn't Tony Terrific break his maiden on the poly at Keeneland?

We should see a fast pace from Teuflesberg. I wonder what the over/under on his beaten lengths at the finish will be.

[The Bid]

Teuflesberg will rate, he will be in the middle of the pack until hes asked to produce a run. They have already stated they are trying to get him to relax and rate which he did in his last race

At 6 furlongs, we'll see around 2 turns

I can't believe a horse of this quality, which isn't that much, has his own thread.

Yeah and Spanish Chestnut was gonna rate too.....especially when Biancone decided to send him long.

I like Hard Spun in this Stakes. We'll see....

WOW! That is a really salty field right there. Hard Spun tops several people's Derby Trail lists -- Izzie's Halo has run big. Teuflesburg is a proven performer, and Makeithapencaptain could still be any kind after the race at Hawthorne.

I'd take the 1 in here after seeing the kind of show he put on this Fall at Hawthorne.

Yup, Makeithapencaptain is my pick at first glance without considering pace scenarios or anything like that.

Yea, I haven't looked at anything or thought about anything -- but know that I've been waiting for this one to head to stakes races ever since that romp. Illinois needs a Derby contender!
