Not sure if he ever won a graded stakes yet, but he's certainly back in winning form having won the Sunshine Millions and a recent money allowance (over MGSW Monterey Jazz) last time out.
Golden Balls ran surprisingly well off a very long layoff last time and Massone, who is a horrible bridesmaid, arguably has better form on turf. Those two rate upset chances IMO.

The only time I've ever won $$ with
Bold Chieftan is when I made a straight exacta wager that clicked with the trainer of
Lost in the Fog's horse on top.
It was a short field, and I knew they'd run 1-2. Instead of backing it up, I laid it all on the Greg Gilchrist horse to run first.
It worked out well, and I took my wife to a nice dinner to celebrate.
My wife has some great photos of Russell Baze atop Bold Chieftain at the 2008 Breeders Cup.
