not enough fan money in these pools , blame the economy , blame racings egocentric underdeveloped state

solitaire , cool coal man (who ran a hell of a race), twilight meteor all below freezing on the board. No fan favoritism whatsoever.

the bulk of the money seems to be wary of the semi-obvious underlay traps

dog-eat-dog pools

yea , we'll see. This is a different story

It would be real nice if Nicanor goes off as a heavy favorite, and runs an educational 3rd or 4th.
If he does beat me, he may as well look great doing it.

Many of those who try to beat Nicanor will probably land on Dubinsky.
Personally, I like:
2 Big Flirt
3 Andiron

In the Donn, I'll tri key Arson Squad over Bullsbay and Albertus Maximus

The Holy Bull, Danger to Society has a win at Gulfstream last out at this mile and an eighth distance. I think he'll be forwardly placed into a slow pace, Beethoven will have alot to do from that post, Borel will go inside again, but this field is pretty big to work through with Danger to Society floating along up front

El Crespo intrigues me in the Holy Bull. 2 back he was under a long drive, never really kicked in, the turf was soft that day, and he ran a decent second. He comes back on turf again, This time he's stacked up wide the whole trip, but to me it seemed like Javier thought he was sitting on much the best, He just kept him in the clear and really cruised home. I think the break helped this horse ton's. Also that day he was never more then 2 lenghts off of a decent pace. He seems tactical, but clearly he will have to handle dirt, if he does I beleive he is a winner in here.
