I haven't seen Cosmic or Lt. Ron run, but I have really liked what I've seen from Ready's Echo. His 3-yo debut was impressive (he did get a dream trip, however).
He was entered in an allowance race in Keenland last month, and looked to be much the best. He lost by about a 1/2 length to Limestone Edge due to the short-stretch and "early" finish line they had in place on certain races.
ON TVG Ken Rudolph actaully called Ready's Echo the easy winner because he was thrown off by the early finish line as well (it was fairly comical when Matt Carothers had to correct him).

Kent eased up on Limestone at the end....was in hand and in control. Ready's Echo is a very nice horse. If he can overcome his gate breaking issues, he should make lots of noise this week.

This is better field than the Preakness if you throw out Big Brown and if Harlem Rocker doesn't run.

Casino Drive will obviously need the race. It is just a prep for the Belmont. His mother has done quite well in that race.

There are some shooters in here that might be better than all the derby horses with the exception of the winner and the filly.

I'm praying nightly we get a nice, quality wave of late-season 3-year-olds, but time is running out.

Sounds like he got HOSED worse that the MAGIC in Detroit the other night.

I wonder if that PUNK, David Stern, is involved in this somehow.

FYI, all mile and a sixteenth races @ KEE are run with that short finish (so they have a little bit of a runup to the first turn.)

Note the 2nd place finisher of that race came back to win the 3YO graded turf stake on Friday @ CD (Tizdejavu) at 21-1.

I wouldn't worry about that horse winning.

He couldn't even get close to Smooth Air.

Not a chance here but I wouldn't put a clunk up third in the Belmont past him in this terrible crop.

How about a Jazil-esque win in the Belmont? He might be the only one still going at the end of it.

Denis of Cork seems a likely Jazil candidate. I don't think Tomcito is fast enough to be Jazil, even in this slow crop.
