I'll take Readys Dancer and Its all Relevant turning back in the Amsterdam. Flintshire can't lose. Requite as my main and maybe Holy Boss in the Vanderbilt. Destin and Mohaymen in the Dandy. Feel like Creator had a perfect trip in the Belmont. Don't want him here. Governor Malibu's trouble was exaggerated. He was 4th best. Don't want him.

it looks like Flintshire scared the sh!t out of the competition with that 5-horse field

Not really sure why he's here in this race, assuming he won't be going to the Arlington Million also.

Why wouldn't he run here and defend his Sword Dancer title?

Sh!t, I was thinking more $$, but I just realized the Sword Dancer is up to $1M. You are right.

Yup plus he's probably more of a 12f horse anyway.

This is a little OT but I don't know where else to put it and it comes from watching the replay of the True North (horses in the Vanderbilt), but what kind of ride was that down the stretch on Dad's Caps????
