imo miners reserve is a very serious horse and will be very tough if he starts here.

The Florida Derby debacle is an obvious throwout, but did this colt have a viable excuse in the Derby Trial?

I don't like those meltdown-types, particularly when they only show their best stuff in allowance races.

At least he's only 3, so he has a license to mature/improve, etc.

I guess 6 scratches in the race changes things. Don't know much about the other two horses in here, but I wonder if it will play out like a match race between A Little Warm and Miner's Reserve.

3 min to post... I am waiting another 2 minutes if the 1 is above even money, I am tossing $100 to win on him.

Stupid horse had to stay at 6-5... Not even that I like him, as much as I was not sold on A Little Warm.

Tentatively, does this race tend to make A Little Warm a contender for the Travers (Haskell/Jim Dandy first, of course) or does it merely write off Miner's Reserve as an elite 3yo?
