This is the most wide open Million I have ever seen.....I am hopefully going to using like 5 horses, it is ridiculous how wideopen this race is....10 horse blanket finish, MAJOR RHYTHM WINS(Arlington would burn down, for the 2nd time, if this happens)

My race by race analysis will be up later tonight for all to enjoy...BOOOM BABY, it is PRE MILLION DAY

Don't like the Euro's, I think EC wins this one. I'll be cheering for him to win, if not him Cacique or Better Talk Now, but I would prefer EC to win...

Thumbs up

I'm starting to like Better Talk Now's chances and willing to throw out his unusually bad United Nations. I think the pace will be a lot faster than people think. EC and Cacique are both going to go from the far outside. Theres no way either one of them will just simply drop back and try to close in here. The Tin Man is fast and so is Ace.

I think this race is won by a closer in the final strides. Going to be a dandy.

Double or nothing in this race instead Tim? EC vs. BTN

BTN = Toss for me

I am heading towards the euro loving with a little channel..Probably just play exacta and pick three in this race and possible win money on Touch of Land...

i will say this though, English Channel has no excuse in this race, he will get an unbelievable trip unless he breaks bad and should get first run on everyone.

With their being no rail, look for horses to just come flying late, Rock of Gibratler(?) style (MAN, that was awesome)

You'd gamble $20 on 2 ants crossing the street...

With the Euros, how do you know? I mean its a total guess how they'll run.
Ace has US form, but going winless the last 2 years and the fact that he'll be 5/1 doesnt exactly make you want to run to the ATM. I think he'll run very well, but I have to be a little Pro american in here.

Soldier Hollow is 12 6-4-0 at this distance, he had a nice little 1 mile tightner in his last vs. less....Looks like he is sitting on a big one and they were pointing him to this reace. He would be no surprise at all IMO.

Rene on the grass don't hurt either...allways been a fan of his riding on turf.

If English Channel goes to the front or is anywhere near the front there is no way he wins....I agree with Gander I kinda like Better Talk Know, there should be enough pace, with a firm turf and a course that favors closers he has a great shot.
