What do you like about First Dude? He has danced all the dances vs the best of this crop and has not been good enough. Now he faces some new guns plus the same horses, and a fair amount of early speed. I think he has very little chance.

So First Dude has little chance, but Admiral Alex does? Yeah, that makes sense.

To be honest, I liked First Dude a lot more before I found out Miners Reserve was in the race. But, I think he's better than his last race. Out of the horses that will be near the lead, he's the only one I think will be around at the end and the addition of blinkers should have him more focused. As of right now I'll probably just bet Ice Box to win and use IB, First Dude, Fly Down and Afleet Express in multi's.

I'll probably eat crow, but I want no part of Trappe Shot. I don't think he wants any part of 10 furlongs.

I want to use Fly Down and Afleet Express in multis and call it a day, but I do not trust Lezcano.

In the baby race on the Travers undercard ... Dominguez is named to ride on an Albertrani debuter by Henny Hughes out of Stormy Blues that is 12/1 on the morning line.

Stormy Blues won her debut by 16 lengths and was in a recent trivia thread..



Henny Hughes was also a very fast 2yo sprinter ... if that horse is live on the board it should be dangerous.

If its live is the big question. HH has been pretty bad, and it seems like his horses are showing up on turf a lot.
Im actually falling in love with the 4 in there, Im waiting for a PM from Gales to confirm.

Any IC babies on the card?

First Dude has a way better chance of winning than Admiral Alex however just watch the Belmont to see what will happen. First Dude will lead them around the whole way while posting nice fractions(No Jim Dandy here where 2 horses go 3F in 2 min) with Miner's Reserve pushing him.

The problem with ALW and Miner's Reserve and looking at the Jim Dandy is they got away with the lead. This won't happen in this race,First Dude is going out front and he has already shown he can take the lead all the way around.

Sets up perfect for Fly Down,Afleet Express and somewhat Ice Box.

I could see Friend or Foe hitting the board tho at a nice price.

+1 for not trusting Lezcano

He ran well enough to me last time that I'm tossing him in as my fourth horse. Considering the horses I'm for and the horses I'm against it makes sense to use him at a big price.

Why do you like Katty Now so much?
Shes logical for sure, she might even be on of my a's. But, a single?

She reminds me of a lot of 3-year-olds who do well turning back after they've failed at longer distances. She can lay close enough to track the Baffert, who will either have to go crazy again to be loose on the lead or get pestered by a few others if they try to slow her down.
