This is an interesting race. It doesn't exactly stack up as a great G1 field, but it seems like a good betting race to me.
After looking briefly at the past performances, (http://www.drf.com/row/pps/07stephenfoster.pdf) I think I like Diamond Stripes.

I like Diamond Stripes and really hopes he puts on a big performance. Another contender is needed amongst the ranks.

I'm betting against D Stripes based on the jump along with thinking he's got to pass three pretty good G2 winners. I can't see anyone other than Master C. Magna or Wanderin Boy winning. I'm using those three with a bump on Wanderin Boy. I think he's going to sit right off the rabbit and although he probably won't be setting the pace, I think he controls it. He's also likely to be a bit underbet in here with the other percieved speed. I don't think Flashy Bull or Jonesboro get a sniff of the front here. Looks like a real good race and a very nice card and pick-4. good luck.

In his last twelve races Wanderin Boy has been on the lead at the first two calls in nine of them. He has finished in the money in all nine of those races with five wins. The three times he was not in the lead at the first or second call, he finished sixth twice and seventh once, with BSFs at least five points below his other efforts. In my opinion he is almost the classic definition of a "need-the-lead" horse. If the track is dry I think he gets cooked here by the rabbit (and all the other speed in the race) and I wouldn't be at all shocked to see him finish off the board.

I'm confused.....because there were a couple longshot winners of the Foster that somehow increases the chances of the longshots in this year's race?
That makes a lot of sense.

Nice run by Flashy Bull. Four straight now. Great ride by R Albarado. Magna G ran a huge race, D Stripes gets an 'ok.' No reports from Master Command or Wanderin Boy who are MIA.

Very happy for Flashy Bull who took a long, long time to come back from the Derby difficulties. Got to spend time around him last winter at Palm Meadows, and he's a really nice horse. Kudos to KMc who was patient with him with a turnout after last year's Haskell. The McLaughlin Brothers and West Point always believed he was going to be a real racehorse and no matter what anyone thinks of the field, winning the Foster is a career-maker. Will certainly have Kiaran on the show tomorrow to talk about it...
