Lawyer Ron -- top choice
Lawyer Ron is really rounding into nice horse as 3YO. Pletcher is succeeding in training LR to use, not abuse, his tactical speed. I have seen LR run twice at LaD -- winning 2006 Risen Star and placing in 2006 Super Derby. He is very athletic, well-built horse. His breeding suggests that mile is possibly his best distance. His sire, Langfuhr, won this race as 5YO.
Lawyer Ron is my choice to win Met Mile tomorrow.

He'll have to run fast early, middle, and late. I think Lawyer Ron will crack under pressure. I have it down to Sun King, and maybe Silent Name or Silver Wagon closing past the hot pace.

Today's cutback to one-turn mile is superior fit for his breeding and training. He will stalk early speed, start moving forward around 3/8th pole, and will get and maintain lead for 2-plus length victory. Prado handled him masterfully in OP win. He will use LR's high cruising speed and repeat today!

i think this is a pretty good field--think about some of the gr 1 fields we've been subjected to!
if silent name takes to the dirt, i like him to win it. if not, sun king over ron, with silver wagon coming late for a piece. i agree about half ours, i think he's in over his head--now watch him win it!

Met Mile
#4 Sun King (5-1) is my tepid selection in very intriguing feature but I will need value to play him. Was 2d in this race last year, losing by head to Silver Train; troubled '07 debut in G3 Westchester prep but that race, along with peppy 46.4 work on May 21, should set him up well for a top effort today; likely to sit behind the speed (and there's alot of it) and look to kick it in gear down the lane to swallow up what I hope will be tiring speed; worth noting he's the closest to knocking off World Champ Invasor, losing a nose bob last August in the Whitney at the Spa. The one to beat is Pletcher's #2 Lawyer Ron (5-2) who is fluorishing under Todd's care but likely to be overbet and still has yet to beat the caliber of horses he's facing today. Perhaps Pletcher gets him over the top today. Gotta use in any exotics under Prado. May also throw #9 Silent Name (JPN)(8-1) into the mix given he is a natural miler who comes in off smashing G2 score at KEE; question mark is fact that he tries dirt first time (20 starts); if his form translates, he could be a handful late.

Going with - Lawyer Ron & Sun King
I'll boxed them in an exacta and use underneath; Latent Heat, Silver Wagon and Corinthian in the third spot. NO superfecta in this race...why???

I'm gonna take Silent Name. Probably do a little Win/Place bet on him.
