Zambezi Sun is scratching. Someone who is actually connected to Bobby Frankel's barn told me......not someone who lies about it on the internet.

The morning lines in some of these races seem off to me -

I'd be very surprised if Benny goes off a longer price than Fabulous Strike. FS certainly has a recency edge and his last was very nice, but Benny has had a more accomplished career and any competent person who can read the form realizes that FS is going to get a lot of pressure up front.

I can't believe that This Ones for Phil is the third choice in the Woody Stephens. He's infinitely faster than either entrymate and even more so than Hull. I hope Eric's right, but I'd be kind of shocked to get that price.

I'd take 8-1 on Funny Moon. . .

This One's for Phil is an interesting horse, in my opinion he is a must include in the pick 3-4.

I dont think there is any chance Benny takes more money than Fabulous Strike.

Yes, the ML on Hull was strangely low. Isnt he the poly horse? I like Phil in this spot too. Thinking 5/2 on Phil.

Sorry wrong horse. I was thinking of someone else. Not too familiar with Hull.
Do you like his chances?

He's 3-for-3, was part of a wicked pace in the Derby Trial and still drew off to win by 4, though it's unclear whether he beat much. This is a way tougher test. He looks like the speed of the speed, but 3-1 seems a little short. I'd probably need 5-1 to get involved.

Hull won the Derby Trial at Churchill on dirt. He did win an allowance on Poly but his maiden win was at FG.
