Have to say if it is firm and there isn't other pace, I think PP can do it again.

Anyone kicking out Presious Passion really needs to take a long look at his races. This is a front runner that's able to ACCELERATE in the lane when the closers come to him. And, this is NOT after running crawling fractions. This horse is able to run a wicked pace and do this. And, he can also duel and do it. And, on more than one occasion he's come back again after being passed in the stretch.
I'm just hoping for a firm course.

I dont remember TFM ever liking a horse this much.
This is at least the 4th time I have saw him tout Presious Passion.

Brass Hat, Proudinsky, Banrock, Quasicobra and Spice Route are not in this race to try and run him down. He wins I will tip my cap to him. I don't even think he will hit the board.

No idea, it pays well though regardless of outcome, I think the pool from last year had 700k in it or something, it was monsterous....

He may not win, but he will have a huge impact on the race outcome. When Julien and Kent hit the half mile pole, PP has a five length lead, and they feel they have a lot of horse under them, they will have a tough decision to make. Do they inch closer to PP to get a jump on the deep closers, all the while knowing that PP is going to put up a fight. Or do they sit back and wait a little longer hoping that PP will be softened up.

What I see happening is PP running off like he normally does, the chasers and midpackers get closer on the far turn, PP spurts away in early stretch taking the race away from Einstein, Gio Ponti catches PP late, and then Stotsfold nails Gio at the wire with Just As Well a hard-charging 3rd.
