7/17 (AP): Million Preview Day

Though he may have distance limitations, I still like Asphalt in the Am Derby. I thought he ran a very nice at CD.

The guy on Against the Odds on HRTV also liked Mint Chip. The price is going to be terrific but I can't seem to determine why he did no running in either of those two turf races at CD.

As much as I'm a fan of hers, I can't believe Tuscan Evening is getting 9.5F on a real/fair turf course. Especially if there's some give to it.

Don't any of the other Southern CALI trainers have a turf sprinter they're looking to stretch out (1st time)? This would be a perfect spot.

I had the misfortune of betting him in both of those races. I don't know what exactly what happened the 2nd time, but in his 1st run, Borel tried to save a little ground on the final turn and ended up blasting the horse on his outside, then drifted in badly early stretch, and after that was not perserved with.
He won his return race at Kee, then had no chance last time at Woodbine due to race dynamics. He's going to need to move forward to compete here, but there is no obvious reason why he shouldn't. He seems to be a tough horse to steer, but Graham knows him well.

In my mind, Rainbow View is very much like Fantasia in that she has plenty of talent but just doesnt always show it on the racecourse. I'd hate to rely on her as a single..

There is only two horses that can win that race, Tuscan Evening or Rainbow View....Because Tuscan Evening is finally gonna see pace on a non favoring front end surface, Rainbow View is gonna get a perfect trip. She isn't a 8f or 8.5 filly, needs distance and gets it today.

I think McAnally's horse is gonna run a big race also.

Scavs, I'll take a shot with Hot Cha Cha, she may be the only one with any value in here and she really can't be taken too lightly. TE and RV will be pounded into submission IMO.

Don't like her at all. Think she is much better with give in the ground and it is as firm as firm gets right now here in Chicago. Also think she has caught some questionable fields in the past.

We'll see

Tuscan Evening was too tough today, no excuses for Hot Cha Cha, thought 7/2 was fair but when you leave a quality animal alone on the front like that, you may as well gift wrap and hand it to her before the gates open.
