Is it me or does anyone else think from a "value" perspective that Tale of Ekati looks good at 20-1? Without Big Brown, this race is going to be wide open.

I kind of like Colonel John as a sleeper too.

This is a tough race for me to be objective, I've been a fan of Harlem Rocker since he broke his Mdn at GP. I've always thought he was a talent. I know he is the best horse if this race was at a mile, his last in the Wales was good/okay, however unless he improves off that race he might be too low oddswise to maybe look elsewhere. One thing that I do like about him is they have been pointing for this race. So he should fire off the bench. At 4-1 he is right at the limit where I would back him. Hopefully his somewhat low beyer in his last will elevate his odds.
