Despite winning today, I can't really think he'll be anything more than a pace factor in races like the JCGC (assuming there's more than 5 horses in the race) and the BC Classic. He's nothing more than another Slew City Slew, L'Carriere or Wanderin Boy.

Of course, he's still a lot more accomplished than Girolamo.
You don't think Vineyard Haven could be a legitimate GI caliber sprinter? I do.

Too bad Borel is going to Omniscient. It'd be hard to top the ****up that was his last ride on Warrior's Reward but he should've been given at least one more chance to **** up again.

And, after Maragh's ride last time he met up with Vineyard's Haven, nice to see he's on a contender.

Could not agree more, 7 Furlongs seems perfect for him. This is a pretty good field too, considering the state of the other divisions.

Anybody know what is going on with Wall Street Wonder? He was nominated for the Forego and had a good workout today, thought he would have returned here.

Maybe they got word of who was running and decided it was to much off an injury and at least a few problems that have benched him.

If QR doesn't win this race, might as well retire him.

I agree. He should win easily, there are no Blames in here. I think GOAT horse will run well.

Where is Mythical Power's good race? If we had exchange wagering yet I'd book a scary amount of $ on this one.
