Small but nice field. Love Aragorn here even though I have a sentimental favorite (Hendrix, for personal reasons).

Who do you all like here? Is anyone going this weekend?

Aragorn wow. Very impressive. The Baffert filly was impressive too. Heard Victor and BB talking about her after the race on TVG. Victor was miked up.

i thought the outside post might hurt her a bit, but she broke very well, he did a great job with her. made it look easy. she's one to keep an eye on.

Thats the first thing I noticed was the move at the turn, just looked totally effortless with a beautiful stride. Very nice win today.

Aragorn was quite impressive and definitely has some talent as his last 4 races have been very good. Keep this in mind for the Breeders Cup though-Drysdale has mentioned repeatedly that he's not certain Aragorn is as good of horse on a turf course with some give in it (likely the case w/ the Breeders Cup at Churchill in November) I realize he ran a huge race in the Kilroe mile on a "good" turf at Santa Anita back in March, but there is a big difference between good turf on the West Coast, where the turf is real hard- almost like concrete at times, and good turf on the East Coast. Something to think about...
