Finally....a voice of reason.

I like Duveen who had a trouble trip last time and also had to overcome slow pace at CD, plus he gets Prado who has a few Va. Derby winners

I like him alot in this race also. He did have a crappy trip last out and should do better. And ya gotta love Prado!! By the way, love the Avatar, I have always liked the Phillies, esp. <drool> Darren Daulton<drool>, and the big bear at first John Kruk<not drooling for him but I just loved him>.And they had a good 3rd baseman, but for the life of me I cant remember his name.....Hollins???? maybe?? And Lenny D in the outfield! Sorry but thinking about Darren Daulton got me all discombobulated and my mind off track!!

Yes his name was Dave Hollins. Also was a big fan of Possibly Perfect, couldn't ask for a better name for a racehorse, the name fit her perfectly

Quay's bred decently for grass, but I don't think he wants to go ten furlongs no matter what surface it's on..

Dang it thats it Dave Hollins. My screename if for Pleasantly Perfect, that was my big guy. Loved, loved him. Cant wait for those babies to start running. They are yearlings this year.None in any sales yet but I did see one in the sale in NY. I guess everyone who bred to him is smart and gonna keep them for themselves.

Cannon will you give me win place show positions?

[docicu3]

Summer Doldrums may repeat at Colonial in this race as with two nice turf races with forward moves may do so again. Real nice win in G3 at similiar distance ....Why is SD left out of most discussions in this race??

Remember when Daulton lost his goddamned mind a few years back?

I know but he is so hot, it doesnt really matter. All he has to do is stand there and keep his mouth shut! "Take your spanking like a good boy Darren"!!!!

I hope Summer Doldrums continus to be ignored, but it's probably only because he looks the part of a very low priced horse. If he's overlaid, in my mind, I would be happy with 4-1, but I'd have to box with Strike A Deal

Inca King looks interesting

It's just a question of whether he's getting good at the right time, or whether his last was because the favorite followed him all the way around (boxed in) while Inca crawled on the front end.

That's the big question. Inca King and Duveen look mighty tough in there, as I think that Inca can probably reproduce the effort from his last.

I cashed nicely on Inca King that day, but not sure he's going to get the same set of circumstances on the front end again this time. However, he looks like he's getting good lately and I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up again with another big one.

With any pace pressure on that one, Duveen looks pretty tough in here.
