Pool freaking Play just won the Foster yet I'm supposed to believe that Havre de Grace and Blind Luck have no shot at all? Yeah, ok. So glad I'm clueless about this sport.

Nobody was using the (lack of) strength in the Foster to argue against Blind Luck or Havre de Grace winning the Whitney. In fact, every horse that was discussed as being one who could give them trouble was NOT in the Foster.
Again, I love Blind Luck, it's hard not to. But running past She's Cheeky, a distance challenged Switch and Miss Match is not in the same zip code as facing horses like Morning Line, Friend or Foe, Rail Trip, Sidney's Candy, and Tizway.
I wish Larry Jones had as much confidence in Havre de Grace as everyone on here. Then maybe he would have run her in the Phipps.
