I don't think I'll be betting either race. I like the chalk( Henny and Bernardini) in both races.

Surely doesn't seem to be alot of value in either race. Star Dabbler intriuges me in the Kings Bishop. Seems to be improving with every race and this one is his 2nd off a layoff. Has a good race over the track and the last work seems to show he may be sitting on a top effort. Is that top effort good enough though? Thats why they race.

I was really hoping that Too Much Bling would show up in the King's Bishop to take on Henny and Songster, but it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer to see that matchup.

Where is Bling going next anyways?

Reminds me a lot of last year's Travers Card (at least the later races). Huge on talent but short priced horses who look very tough to beat. At least in this year's Kings Bishop it is a large field with pace for Henny to deal with.

Anyways, Saturday's card as a whole looks wonderful and if you cant get excited over it, you arent a horse racing fan. I guess my advice to you is go check out the St. Louis Derby!

If anybody is beating Henny, its Court Folly. Theres no reason not to think he wont get ample pace to run at. Whether or not hes good enough and ridden cleverly enough are the question marks. I think hes the best alternative to just singling Henny or skipping the race.

What do you guys think?

Thanks kev. Printed them up. I will give my thoughts after lunch when I have time to look at them.

One question: Do you guys think High Cotton will try and set it up for BGC?

I'm intrigued by this one as well. Wonder what kind of price we'll get on him. There is plenty of speed, the cheaper kind and the classy kind, so if nothing else, he'll be coming late.

Please stop smoking the green stuff, this horse won't finish in the top 50% in this race, IMO

I do hope some people listened and had Star Dabbler underneath in the ex
