Gonna plunk some cash on Rachel if she goes in the La Troienne? Sounds like she has so much energy she might go enter herself if Asmussen doesn't do it fast enough. I bet they let Calvin do like he always does with her instead of all that screwing around like before.

As for Homeboykris, I totally get why they wanna go. I find it inconvenient for other horses, but I understand the thought processes. There've been worse reasons. I just hope he comes home safe and sound. He can't be in peak physical form right now can he? Has anybody here seem him lately?

calvin didn't like the instructions in the last race, they took her out of her usual running style.

So, on the off chance that Setsuko gets in, who rides him?

Awesome Act looks to be playing the part of the wise guy horse with those odds. I was probably going to take a shot, depending on post-position, but no way at 15-1. I was thinking more like 25 or 30-1. I guess there's so many horses with absolutely no shot, that even horses with marginal talent are going to get bet.

[ninetoone]

I can't see Lookin' at Lucky going off at 6-1. My guess is 4-1 or 9-2. Sidney's Candy I see as 8 or 9 to one.

Illman pegs Endorsement as his wise guy horse on his blog, for whatever that is worth.
