That whole field seems like it can handle the slop.
Is is going to be sloppy?

well its raining right now and there is a 100% chance of precipitation, they will be lucky if the severe weather doesn't shut them down during the course of the day...so yes, its going to be sloppy

Santana’s horse looks live in the derby at a big price.

He’s the wildcard for me. I’ll be backing Country House once again...hopefully it finally pays off. I’m out on Omaha Beach. Have it ranked:

#1 Improbable
#8 Country House
#7 Galilean
#11 Long Range Toddy
#5 Laughing Fox

I ended all bets with 8,11 while acknowledging that Improbable is the horse to beat.

I like that. Good luck.

This will get me grilled, but man it sure seems like Smith forces his horse to be the best horse BY FAR way too often.

I wonder if Country House will ever make the huge move at the top of the stretch that I keep thinking he’s going to make.

I remember Lone Sailor galloping in the mud at Saratoga. I like him. It is a good race though, anyone could win.
