I'm going to play an exacta box of Magna Graduate, Fairbanks, and Diamond Stipes.

I'm going to play a five horse box of Brass Hat, Fairbanks, Diamond Stripes, Magna Graduate and Lawyer Ron for the tri.

I'll bet Brass Hat and Fairbanks to win.

I'll play a super of:
Magna Grad, Fairbanks
Magna Grad, Fairbanks
Diamond Stripes, Brass Hat, Lawyer Ron
Brass Hat, Papi Chulo, Diamond Stripes, Wanderin Boy, Lawyer Ron

My prediction on the order of finish is:
Magna Graduate
Fairbanks
Diamond Stripes
Lawyer Ron
Brass Hat
Wanderin Boy
Papi Chullo
Sun King
Awesome Twist
Flashy Bull
Student Council
Dry Martini

No one gives Flashy Bull any respect! He runs a 105 range beyer everytime!

Brass Hat has had his prep after recovering from a fractured sesamoid last year. Obviously, after such a long layoff, he was not fully cranked up for the race at Churchill; it was designed to improve his fitness and the fact that he won was an unexpected bonus. (He suffered a codylar fracture in Texas as a 3yo, was off for a year, had a turf prep in which he ran nowhere, then won 3 in a row.)

Let me remind you of this: Brass Hat is intrinsically a better horse than the other horses in this race. He's beaten Magna Graduate by open lengths whenever they have met. He made highly touted East Coasters like Suave and Pollard's Vision look like allowance horses. Ignore him at your peril.

I completely disagree with you on that.....and so do the speed figures.
Five horses in here have run a BSF of 110 or higher. Brass Hat is not one of them.

Don't think anyone picked him here, haven't read all the posts.
But Student Council is scratched.
