Is Friend Or Foe actually going to ever start again or did Kimmel go "all in" for the NYRA Mile late last year?

[Gate Dancer]

Very interested to see how Naples Bay handles the class test..................

[dalakhani]

Can't you see the met mile completely falling apart with all of that pace? Probably the best dirt race of the year so far.

I don't know what you mean. It's pretty much just Haynesfield and Morning Line with serious speed and neither of them are need-the-lead types.

Rodman, Stormy's Majesty, Tackleberry, Tizway should all be interested in the lead as well. However, it's not like in years past when a speed horse was stretching out and ensured a white hot pace.

It will be interesting to see. Diva Ash flattered her in winning the Edgewood earlier this month. I'm a huge fan of Winter Memories, but I'm not fully convinced she has to win this at such a short price and could be worth playing against in the late 4.

I'm a little biased as the breeder (original owner of Medalia D`Oro) of this horse lives here in Great Falls but she should be in the hunt at the end. She has been handled very conservatively but has the right running style to make the jump. I agree about Winter Memories but it will be interesting who sets the pace as most in here appear to be stalkers. Could be a sprint to the wire.

claxia e is going to run a big one imo

Big race from Tizway today.... Met Mile never fails to deliver.

Rodman really blew-up the exotics.... big payoffs despite a 3-1 winner who was well noted in a variety of spaces as the horse to bet.

Watching Winter Memories today reminds me of Wonder Again, and when the filly/mare turf division seemed to be stacked year in and year out. Good for Toner to have another top notch turf distaffer. She was really impressive today. Two big efforts from the stakes winner this afternoon.

I really screwed that up. . . was a big fan of Rodman's a few years ago. Just didn't love his comebacker considering the slow pace.

I remember Memories Of Silver rather well. I was at Saratoga for her first two stakes wins in the Lake George, which I think was a 50k stake at the time, and the Nijana. She was undefeated at the Spa.

The Nijana was changed to the Lake Placid.

Going to be tough for any filly to beat that monster this summer.

Mind boggling (and too bad) that she lost at Churchill.

Congrats to Jimmy Toner.

On to The New York or perhaps the American Oaks?

Toner is conservative so it won't happen but I'd love to see her try males in a race like the Va Derby.

Morning Line, winner of the Grade 1 Carter Handicap last month at Aqueduct, will not run in Monday’s Metropolitan Handicap as scheduled, due to a foot issue, trainer Nick Zito confirmed Thursday afternoon.

Tackelberry is one tough horse. He gets no respect at the windows but runs his A game every time

[Travis Stone]

Duke of Mischief is going to the Cornhusker I believe... sad about Morning Line... still an awesome race though, always one of the best on the circuit each year.
