Anybody that has looked at the race have any opinion? Yate's Black Cat could be tough 2nd off layoff, but others in here also look tough. Any thoughts?

Yate's Black Cat certainly looks like the one.

Though I've been in the past, hesitant to toss Act of God out of any wagers I've made.

If Canela runs (MTO) I would say he is my top pick (one nut and all, lol). Your choice does seem to be the obvious one. If you are feeling "spirit" then maybe Act of God/His Holiness exacta.....

Well those responses were definitely helpful as Act of God was the one I was thinking of throwing in. There looks like a fair amount of early speed so it might set up fairly well for these two. Anybody that knows more about breeding than me (which should be just about everybody) have any opinions on how Pletcher's will take to the weeds?

I agree, if Canela runs I'm gonna hammer him and a straight exacta Canela/Yates.

Canela is now scratched...
Even if it was off the turf and he wasn't, there was about a 0% chance Yate's was running on the dirt.

His Holiness has monster turf breeding....and it's all hidden. I'm hoping he can repeat.
