A slight exaggeration on my part. I know Beau Choix had trouble in the stretch, but do you think he still gets to the winner without the trouble?

I don't know that he would have either, but he got a monumentally stupid ride, and the winner had a perfect trip. Also, don't count me in the " he could have won by a lot more " group. I'm also not saying Right One can't win, as obviously he can, but I'm not as excited about him as some, and think the very fact that it's not clear he's a lot better than Beau Choix is hardly a ringing endorsement of his talents.

Given the likely large disparity between their prices, I would rather bet Beau Choix. I'm also not perticularly enamored with any of them. I'm still trying to figure out why Get Stormy ( assuming he won't run Saturday ) is not running here.

Let's hope Saturday produces mores starters in the stakes races. Looking forward to the card.

Sadly, I think that you won't get what you are hoping for - smaller fields seem on course (save the Belmont) reviewing the various lists of potential fields. I hope some others get drummed up, though. Fingers crossed.

Not in the Manhattan, either.
