I'm pulling for Pompeii Ruler.

I think the Cup is a tough-ass race.

I am rooting for Blutigeroo to get a place at least. He is one of my favorites who always has come through for me.

Way over his head though. The American horse (Honor In War) ran a flashy fifth in Pompeii Ruler's last. Maybe he is finally getting his feet under him.

Maybe it is all for naught and El Segundo walks by them in the stretch. Who knows who wins this??
