I like Sun King because it is only 9F and I think he will be a good price.

I wish Nick would keep SUN KING sprinting, he'll do far better there

Sun King...

Maybe the Whitney is a very unusual prep for the Forego?
Would make sense to get some bottom into the horse.

Was just going to say the same thing...Sun King's turned into a pretty decent off the pace sprinter. Poor decision - or delusion of grandeur - places him in this field. Other than that, Flower Alley should be fresh for this one.

I've been a little out of the loop when it comes to Survivalist, but has he shown any recent form that puts him in the thick of things?

Much appreciated, thank you. You cant ignore a horse with his pedigree and past and I wouldnt be surprised to see him come up for a piece.

I originally liked Sun King, but I am leaning towards Survivalist to outright win this race.

I'm going to go with Wanderin Boy.

I like Flower Alley on top, but West Virginia is game and should get a piece. Can't discount Invasor either. SHould be a nice race.

I'm the only one who likes We Can Seek to hit the board?

He was the 3YO champion in Chile.... three Group 1's. I think he'll do well (..... right behind Invasor).
