Thinking about parlaying my winnings from Saturday into War Front's race this weekend. I know I wont get very good odds. But I am just trying to get a little money. I love the info on the works you have have given us Oracle. Keep it up brother.

Unfortunately my clocking days will be coming to an end soon. But with the guy I have down at Belmont it doesnt really matter. Silver wagon's last work for this race was also VERY GOOD! If there is any kind of a duel expect to see him flying down the lane.

Be careful Euro. As big a fan as War Front as I am, this may not be such an easy spot liek the vanderbilt was. I think the price will be lowish but may be okay by your standards, 8/5?
Should be a great race and I cant wait to watch the replay Sunday morning without any knowledge of who won.
Will be rooting for War Front but not backing at the windows.

Yeah I dont have very high standards when it comes to odds. I think 10 cents is fine with me. But who else in here do you think can get the job done. I know it is only 3 weeks rest but he has a win over the track and he is training well. Who else do you have in mind?

Silver wagon's last work was 5/8th's in 1:00 flat. Don't let anyone tell you any different. he was also worked by a statuesque rider who never at any time moved his hands or ****ed the stick. It was a true beauty. If you see a pace dule scenario or spot an outside closing bias then make sure hes in your tri tickets.

I'll need to see the entries first. But it is a grade 1 and I would expect a mix of the following:

War Front- Looms large as the favorite. Finally got over seconditis.
Silver Wagon- Most logical winner if there is a speed duel
Spanish Chestnut- Adds fuel to the fire and has been real game this year
Commentator- Can flat out fly but is this too short for him?
Vicarage- Never countout Pletcher but in this case looks overmatched
Judiths Wild Rush- This isnt Canada
Mass Media- Defending champ, you never know which one will show up

I hear that Nightmare Affair and Pomeroy are coming up from the race at Calder

If that is the cast of characters then I am sitting this one out. That is a pretty good field.

I read Pomeroy was going too(man, he loves the Spa).
I guess I'm giving too much respect to Commentator.. but despite such a great field, I think he's just too tough for this group.
