What does that make Finallymadeit, who runs in every race at every track every day?

Great field for $80k. I'm guessing Pyro goes off favored... he won't win.

Brutal race for $80k. You can find far easier fields in graded races every weekend. Why are these horses not going in the Vanderbilt, or are most nominated there too? Funny that the Quick Call, a turf sprint didn't fill...

A super duper iron horse?

Wonder how Honour Devil will do with McLaughlin? Pretty neat fields in both of these Stakes!

I dont think the public will fall for Pyro off the long layoff and short distance.

I do like a layoff horse in the race...Honour Devil. He will be one of KMc's 2 wins on the day.

Maybe 1907? It only took 100 years to get him his name in lights...

The Dunce Cap would have been more appealing

I am predicting at least 3 scratches in the Marvin. HG has a negative trainer change.

The NYRA site says he was born in 1807. Another site says he was born in 1809, and started managing the hotel in 1830.

If I owned a track, I'd name stakes after has-been actors and actresses. "Today's Gary Coleman Handicap will be run at two-furlongs. The winner of tomorrow's Mr. T Handicap will receive a gold chain."
