Unless she isn't herself this day, I don't believe he will be a problem for her. Totally different class of horse.

Edit-This would seem to be a fishing expedition by Sheik Mohammed, maybe he wants to gauge his chances later on. Definitely not the best he can send or will send.

The thing about this race is her 2 biggest rivals will be horses who like to be on or very close to the lead- Cool Coal Man and Pass the Point. Hasnt Zito played upset before? Hmmm. Problem is his horses rarely pair up 2 top perfromances back to back, unless they are given long layoffs like Birdstone was. Check out how badly Coal Play ran last week off that huge top. Cool Coal Man has a history of not being able to duplicate races too.

Great race and weekend shaping up. Hope the weather cooperates this time.

PTP can not be considered her biggest rival. Its a Bird was being called the best handicap horse in america before his last. Andy said it a number of times on the NYRA brodcast. He cuts back and Martys horse just freaked today. He will def. be lower odds then PTP IMO.

You may be right but I would love a little head to head side wager between these 2 if you happen to be at the track on Saturday. You going?

Hey who am I? Serling said he was the best older male horse in America prior to his Belmont race.
