#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.

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.

He had plenty left in the tank after that little spurt. He waited on Improbable and said forget about it when he came calling.

Midnight Bisou is actually favored over Elate. Lol do people not realize the gap in ability here, and the fact
that Elate was off the bench last time.

Definitely an ability gap.. A Manitoba-bred better than Elate too.

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.
