Anyone have an opinion on Rogue Victory in the 'cap??

I will be keying him in trifecta's and might play some P3's/4's around him.

He broke in the air in his second start and finished a good 2nd. He then was able to hold on for the maiden breaker in his last, through okay fractions against better. Hopefully, he can hold off Baletti and Valtrus, two other contenders IMO. Not sure what to think of D Treasure.

Having pointed him out, he'll probably scratch, just like every other horse that I look forward to betting does.

Well, I think he has a bit of a chance, but even though he blew the break two back he was more than compensated by getting a major pace set up. In his last, the pace was slow for the Mellon turf that day and I don't think he beat the strongest of fields.

The good news tomorrow is that he won't be part of the pace and he may have some upside. He will need it.....at least tomorrow.

On your scratch addition.....not unless something happens. I'm friendly with his owner and spoke to him yesterday about the race. They have every intention of running.

I was thinking that his horse was well meant, but of course, Im outside looking in. Hoping that his m/l holds up, because as you mentioned, he will be up against it tomorrow. Best of luck to the connections with this one, he has certainly caught my eye and should be a useful one down the road. I am eager to see how he fares against winners.

About the pace set up, I'm thinking he sits off of the first flight and pounces entering the turn. He will have to be all out to hold off Baletti, IMO, but my money will be on that he will.

Another one that I dont know whether to pitch or include is Frankel's charge. An awesome betting event for sure.

i have a huge opinion on him, hes a total play against, before his last race the horse never showed a bit of speed and prado guns him, clearly thinking he was sitting on much the best, the horse showed up and ran big that day, now prado jumps off to ride a horse thats 15-1 morning line ? explain that ? not only the jock switch bothers me, but i just rate him as not being in the top 5 in the race.... in my mind motts horse is clearly the horse to beat, i also like shug's horse, baletti and Discreet Treasure more then Rogue

Your logic is pretty flawed here. . .
