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.

Commentator when sound is the fastest horse in America. Hes one of the most underrated horses ever.

Agree, I see Commentator taking this.

[Gander]

I'd have to agree with Oracle but I dont see Commentator winning this race.

so how long is the Forego this year ? if it's 6f i gotta go with Spanish Chestnut based on his opening day run.

[Gander]

7F, isnt it always 7F?

[sumitas]

7f, ok, it used to be 6.5 when Shadow Caster / Chavez won at 50-1, i think. the Forego had a 3 year streak where the longest shot on the board won every year.
