Yeah, but there is something about this race I like. I think it is a pretty nice field for a G3 event.
Personally I am going to be cheering for the 2, even though he probably has no chance. I love his pedigree (no Native Dancer!!) and that absolutely ridiculous name makes for a great combination.

Is this Song of Navarone's first race back since his win in the WinStar Derby?

This is actually a pretty decent field IMO... a few horses I really like are running.

Yes, according to someone on the Thorograph site, he injured his hoof in that race, while running a HUGE fig (fastest of any in the race, save Delightful Kiss).

Thanks for the info. I thought that Forty Grams would put that field away, but Song of Navarone ran a really nice race. Wonder how he's looked training...
