SAUCY field. I've seen G2's easier than this. Good to see the old warrior get a stake named after him.
Salty group. 21 and change? Some of these can flat out sizzle. This is the kind of race so many wise guys will bet the closers in, but I betcha the winner of this race wires the field. Often happens in races looking like the pace has to collapse

That's the best collection of horses I've seen run for $65k in a long time. Makes it mighty incongruous looking when you see ho-hum NY-breds coming out of $84k off-the-turfers at Saratoga.

What does that word mean? I'm too hungover to use the dictionary. Thursday nights are our crazy nights.

Songster ran way too good to only finish 4th. I thought he was the only good value in the race.

I disagree... 6-1 off that Deleware effort??? The winner ran REALLY WELL. Lucky Island is FINISHED.... Those couple GIANT EFFORTS, came from where?

Ravalo was the most appropiate winner. He's now 13 for 27 lifetime. He's a hard hitter like Spooky was. Anyone who bets Accredit against good horses on a dry track should have their head examined. Songster just ain't the horse he was at 3. Lucky Island, see "Songster." I thought Gold Trippi had a shot to close is the pace was blistering but it wasn't.
I'm happy Ravalo won though, I'd rather get beat by him than a has been.

Yea, like it might seem incongruous for Nick Heinz to name quintuplets

1)Aga
2)Pito
3)Delga
4)Dillo

(but it wouldn't shock me.)

I'd use Sara Louise, Any Limit, Thunders Dove, and hope for another dull one from Indian. Baffert says she's ready though. In other words, I hate this race.

Why hate it? Im using her and only her. Hoping SL bounces.... I think Baffert has to have her ready to run a top race and even if SL fires, Indians best should be good enough.
