I'm a big fan of CQ, but I really don't expect him to win on Saturday. Mainly because of the surface, but the track configuration could play a role too. I just hope they keep him wide so he doesn't get into too much trouble.(tough to do though when he's got the 1 hole!!) Like others, I'm avoiding betting anything on the new polytrack... for now at least.

Old Dodge is a very very talented horse. I dont think a mile is his best, but I will bet him in that spot.

Tueflesburg is also a nice horse. I think they will have to catch him to win

You´re right!

Old Dodge was a "machine" when he was here in Brazil.....absolutely amazing...but he is better at 5 furlongs, 6f maybe...

But I think he is underapreciated in the field....he is not that bad to pay 20-1 (equibase) against this field.
