I don't think ol' Roque gets to the front against Papua. That was has run 2 straight good routes after a very solid sprint career. I like those NYB starters. Anyone remember the one where they all finished about 1 length apart? Roque and Dont Knock America were both it it.

Yes Linny, I remember that race. Like 6 of them within 1 length at the end.
You think Papua outsprints Rogue Agent?

Rogue Agent is coming off a layoff I think. Fresh speed is usually the best speed. I wouldnt be surprised if he reverts back to old times and sprints to the lead here.

I missed Papua's last race although I know he won. Did he show more speed than usual? Hes always been somewhat of a closer but then again those were sprints and he always did keep very good company. I remember he raced against Don Six last winter.

The old Roque would eat these on the lead but his speed has been lacking, at least on a consistant basis. Dominquez will ride and I dont see him as a dominant front end rider.
Papua got to an easy least last time but two back he stalked, about 1 1/2 lengths from the front. He's just a tough old bird who can beat you in many ways. I wanted to kill myself when he held on last time, he was almost 3-1 and I didn't play the race.

We may have to bet one of those overpriced ice cream cones on which horse is in front after the first quarter of this race. Or do you want to make it after the first half?

If neither has the lead, the bet is a push.
