Absolutely love Referee but hate the post. At least with the scratch he moves down one but they still start so close to the turn that it will be way too much to overcome. Still will put some money on him as I think he's the best in here but not that much the best and will need a great trip and ride to overcome.

I know that Pletcher wants to win this one bad. He is chasing his own season tying record of graded stakes victories. He sends three in here. Its interesting to see these three worked out together on Dec 16th going 5 F.
Monba timed in 1:00 while the other two galloped out together in :59.60.

Of the three, I like Meal Penalty cause he is trying to shake thigs up by adding blinkers and a red hot jock in Ramon Dominguez. I dont see why Dominguez would if he did not think he had a legit chance of winning this.

Meal Plenty is my pick for this.

It is interesting that Zayat would run two of his most talented 2yo sprinters against each other here.
He really has a good thing going with Massive Drama. Kafwain is almost a 6furlong sire, but people are starting to buy into the idea that this horse has potential at a route. Baffert has him on his toes. Eaton's Gift could be a real problem for MD. Last two were big impressive efforts. The way he did them, almost would indicate that he is a threat to freak if allowed to go all-out on a fast cushion track. They don't exactly compliment each other's styles.

Nakatani has had things his way with Colonel John and could well get another trip with the two Zayat colts and a couple other nice animals who attend the pace... He wants to sit a nice trip and time his run just off the big pace. His biggest obstacle would be one of the speed horses getting bold in the lane and having to take them on early.

after studying the race; i don't like Sunset or Monba all that much.
Should be Colonel John or Indian Sun, but Eaton's Gift, Referee, and Massive Drama all have an outside shot.

This is going to be one of those ultra-dynamic synthetic races that I am supposed to oppose, but it does look very interesting.

I wonder why he didn't come back with THELEOPARD here.

The Leopard is sticking to the Turf. His dirt races were horrible.

Default moot?

scratch OLD MAN BUCK (the debate continues... )

This probably would be a good spot for The Leopard. I am guessing that they do want him on the turf for now, also they want to get use out of horses like Meal Penalty.

I am on the fence with MONBA. He may be very similar in style to Colonel John.
