It seems to me like there is some value in Always First at 8/1. He closed into absolutely no pace and prevailed in his last start at Arlington, and really hasn't run a bad race since switching barns. EC is certainly the class of this field and the most likely winner, but Always First could be a good play at a price.

You have to love the logic of the connections though:
What do you do with a horse that has failed to hit the exacta in FOUR consecutive G3s? Well you stick him in a G1 of course!
