GS means exactly good/soft..... it will be yielding at best if not soft on Sat.

My guess is yielding and possibly good. We got zero rain up until two days ago and there will be zero races over the course until Saturday, it could easily dry out by then.

Good things happen to good people and Double D asked for rain and he got it. The course should look amazing Saturday. It is always the first thing I look at when I get there on Million Day

where are you going to be at Sat? I'd gladly come and meet up with you.

Default First tout

After Market - TOSS!!!!

Don't think he is a true 10 panel horse and getting 6lbs added (I am guessing Solis doesn't mind since he always overweight anyways, along with his boy Nakatini). Cut in the ground, back in 20 days, adding 6lbs EQUALS dull effort to SCAV.

Looking at the sheets for the big races, they are ALOT MORE COMPETITIVE then the PP's show.

Not a fan of Citronade at all. Honey Ryder might be the nuts in this race but have to use Irridescence and Royal Highness (who looks pointed towards this race specificially, after that huge run at GP)

I'd rather have After Market than a front runner on soft turf. BIGTIME advantage to the Euros in all of the races.

My picks are either Danak or Doctor Dino in the Million... all over Irridescence in the Beverly D... Secretariat is wide open...

Danak would prefer firm ground though, he has never even faced soft conditions, so it would be an unknown for him.

Doctor Dino would love it if it were soft, the softer the better, i think. He seems very adaptable with ground conditions, though.

Irridescence wouldn't be wanting the ground too soft, either.

Although Admiralofthefleet will go on the ground, i think he is better with firmer conditions. If he does handle the conditions though, i think he will be very hard to beat.
