singspeil is very tough to handicap.

rahy's attorney could like the softer course and may be an overlay.

As a fan I would like to see Ramon Dominguez take the 4 mission approved wire to wire, that would take a great ride.

that is what a speed jockey on a turf route is supposed to look like!!!

he's one of the best jockeys, period.

I suck.

Congrats to all who had the winner(s) so far...

Not crazy about solitaire for this race. I could be wrong but he may be better on turf.

palmers looks good in the paddock

one of these guys like palmers or D.flutie could strike the front late and gut it out if everyone is exhausted

The key to the race was Not Bourban relaxing early and having the kick when the Jock asked him for it. He was getting tired in the end but you could say Attfield trained him to his fittest level, he needed it against a game filly.
