No DM will be much higher than that

How high can he go in a five-horse field, especially where Remand looks outclassed? He has very good races over the track, and with the Pletcher/Castellano connection, I'm expecting that he'll be bet.

They can't all be too low.

I hope this is a popular opinion.

I'm with you - I sort of like him.

85/50 - 6/5
DF - 8/5
DM - 7/2
TUP - 12/1
Remand - 9/1

My guess.

Love the stakes P4. And the P3 on the 3rd thru the 5th.

The rest of the card? You can have it. Definitely not a better undercard than Derby Day at Churchill.

I think people will focus on his drubbing at the hands of D'Funnybone in the Futurity over the same track and distance last fall as the main reason to keep from making him one of the favorites.

If that doesn't work, his most recent sprint, the Spectacular Bid at GP, should do the trick.

To me, this horse is the classic speed horse that can't handle a sprint pace, which means the only way he can win is to hang on in a route race with a favorable pace scenario. Not sure what he's doing here, he should be in the prep races leading up to the Haskell.

He didn't exactly have smooth sailing in the Spectacular Bid.

He did until he couldn't find enough to get past Wildcat Frankie.

Maybe they'll try to drop back and make one run today. He certainly can't go with Eightyfiveinafifty and last if that maiden race at Saratoga last summer is any indication.

Looked pretty good to me.

Yep. D'Funnybone only won by 4 lengths this time around.

The horse can't rate, which pretty much removes him from winning any top class sprint race.

I never said he wouldn't continue to be a bridesmaid, especially in a 5-horse field.

Maybe around Pennsylvania Derby time they'll come to their senses.
