Early pick is Papi C, but there will be plenty of value in this one.

If he keeps on his new track I think Papi Chullo will be very competitive. He has had quite a turnaround with the new connections, I've always liked him.
What a nice field, should be very good race.
All the those stake races are nice, decent fields expect for the 9th, and even that one looks competitive.

Flashy Bull is always a great price even though he keeps winning..

Papi C goes back quite a ways with me, or rather, one of my partners that he slammed into the stall wall. Broke a bunch of his ribs, and made him take nine months off from riding.
I think Papi will do something, that mean sonofabitch.
I also like Flashy Bull for an ex (or box) and I'm figuring Diamond Stripes under in a tri. Nothing final at this point.
There should be some great betting value in this race.

The Whitney always make me think of the 1999 rendition of the race.
It was certainly one of the best races of the last 10 years with two multiple-G1 winners (Victory Gallop and Behrens) battling to the wire. Victory Gallop's move on the 2nd turn that day was one of those moves that you just never forget.
I'm glad that it is available on youtube now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf7UIKALfM8

Brass hat surly has had some issues but I think Buff and Brass Hat are trying to tell you he is back. Invasors rretirement added to his soundness.

Love Fairbanks here. If it's wet, I'd be tempted to go with Brass Hat, but so will everyone else and he'd be 7-1. Odds on Fairbanks would not be effected by an off track, as he's 0-0, but pedigree and front running style makes me stay with Fairbaks, even if on wet

My boss retiring from her position helped my soundness...
