Bigs - Wow, a lock?? 5f sprint over what is going to be very soft footing (My guess is it should be classified as yielding, if not it's as close to that as it gets)..I'd be a fool not to use him, but look at the 1 two back going 5f over a soft grass course...There's just too many decent horses in here with recent turf sprinting experience...That said I'll bet the 24 dollar ticket, Ness wins, and it'll pay 18.60....

I see the 4th was pulled off the turf, otherwise there would have been another lock imo. Hatta Fort comes from Gr1 races last year against the best 2yo's in Europe. he is miles better than the field he was to face. i'm assuming he'll be scratched.

I don't think that much of Lookingforthe secret today. Too short, too soggy, too far out. I'll try The Nth Degree at 5-1+. Beat far better his 2nd out last year.

In the TB Derby, it will be interesting to see if Cigar Man breaks well enough and gets sent hard enough to put War Pass 3rd early. I'm on Atoned today.
