Dublin needed a little time off ehh.

It would be great if Twirling Candy comes. You also have to wonder if any of the fast 3YOs could take a shot this year, though I guess with the Woody Stephens 12 days away, they will probably go there.

The Met is a great race. If the Carter stays as it looked last week, Morning Line will be very tough there, unless Apriority ships.

How could Dublin possibly lose?

Why would they?
None of them would have any shot to compete with decent older horses.

You're kidding....right?

These 3YOs from DrugS' Derby chances list would be interesting in the Met Mile to me (though none of them will probably go):

Dialed In
The Factor
To Honor And Serve
Soldat
Sheckleford
Comma to the Top
Sway Away

Toss in Flashpoint and Travelin Man as well.

The Factor would win the Met.

So would Uncle Mo.

What if they both ran, who would be most likely in a fairly drawn field?

When (maybe if) The Factor backs-up in the Derby, I wonder if someone could convince Baffert to make that move.

Well, it would obviously depend on who showed up.

If Twirling Candy, Apiority, Morning Line, Soaring Empire, Captain Candyman, Mission Impazable all entered...you would be betting The Factor and Uncle Mo?

Maybe I would too in the Cigar mile this Fall but, not in May.

Ok, I'll bite.

Why do you say that?
