I won't deny that the NL stinks in general....But isn't the goal to get to the World Series and then win it? They have an easier chance to get there and by the time they do, they will have made some moves to be a better team.

Good luck with your play Randall. There is a small tiny chance I may play this race but I doubt it. Going away to Hampton Beach, NH to see some relatives this weekend. There is a dog track which has simulcast of Belmont nearby but that is a longshot. Love the card though. Hit em good.

As far as the Mets go, I am really pulling for them to do well this year. How can you not like that crew? Between now and the playoffs they need to get involved in some tough games, going into the playoffs "soft" is never a good thing. Look at the Cards of 2004 and 2005, and the Mariners the year they won 120 games.

To answer the original question, without a blazing pace, Andromeda's Hero has no shot. He has three speeds: slow, slower and even slower yet.

I'm really liking Wild Desert and Tap Day in here. Desert should get a nice trip around on the rail - not sure if he wants the lead though but he may inherit it. Tap Day makes his 3rd start of the year after winning at Bel last time, picks up Velazquez, ran 2nd here last year, and the running style fits!

Andromeda's Hero is a one-paced stayer. He needs the horses in front of him to get really tired or get a distance like the REAL Jockey Club Gold Cup (2miles).

I don't see much speed in here, either, but I see Invasor dictating the pace, like he did in the Pimlico Special. And he does stay on, when the milers start to back up.

You guys just don't get it. Dutrow and whoever is riding Wild Dessert is SENDING TOMORROW for the exact reason that everyone is saying, no speed....This horse is going to open up a 2 length lead and hope to stay the whole way, no doubt in my mind.
