Miner's Escape looks like a horse to me that has the running style and the pedigree that might allow him to steal the race, or at least hold on for a minor share. He definitely seems to be a different and improving horse after being stretched out.
But, do you guys think Da Tara's performance last year will turn Miner's Escape from a possible overlay into an underlay because a lot of people will love the Zito/LaPenta longshot angle?

Zambezi Sun is scratching. Someone who is actually connected to Bobby Frankel's barn told me......not someone who lies about it on the internet.

Someone actually asked Frankel if Dixie (by his real name) was really his right hand man. I think we all know the response to the question.

So in the same conversation he told you that Zambezi Sun is going to be scratched he also told you that Modern Look is going to the front? Can he tell you why Zambezi Sun has turned out to be such a goat?

Default Bobby Sez "NO BIRD"

Mine That Bird will not be in the exacta. He will flatten out in a 12 furlong race.

He won the derby on tactics.

The preakness fell apart and sucked other than the winner.

Birdstone as sire does NOT mean the horse is bred to go 12 furlongs. This example has illustrated how poor the public pedigree info is. Summer Bird will not be around either.

Charitable Man, Dunkirk and Chocolate Candy are the only 3 real 12 furlong horses in the race. Box them in the exacta until it comes out of your ears.

Why wouldn't you think the son of a Belmont winner can't get 12 furlongs?

It doesn't tell you one way or another. Obviously it's better than some obscure 2yo sprint sire, but it certainly isn't the lock every pedigree writeup seems to say it is about getting or loving the distance. Look him over with every bit the critical eye you would a closing 6furlong horse going a mile.

Tri key Charitable Man over Choco Candy, Dunkirk and Mine That Bird

I have a win wager on Flying Private based solely on pedigree

With Charitable Man a current overlay, I felt I had to do this

well, he flattened out, but he should have been in the exacta. He was asked for run prematurely and that cost him 2nd place.

I didn't like Summer Bird at all. Summer Bird was bet surprisingly heavy in some of the exotics.
Trifecta pool sucked. (a good bit of that can be attributed to players singling MTB in all three slots)
Brooklyn/Belmont Double SUCKED A$$ - 168 for a BUCK?? that didn't even make sense. i have no idea what happened there

so Summer Bird was getting bet a little bit in some of the exotic pools.

My father picked summer bird, I didn't have him 1st or 2nd on any tickets...
