Terrific betting race. Still have some work to do on the card, but I'm betting Boots Ahead in here.

Boots Ahead caught my eye too, and I added this nice event to the stakes roster since I asked Andy his thoughts about it earlier on ATR. May not be good enough to win, but seems like the right one to play around with.

Love Beau Choix on the jock switch alone, especially at anything near the 8-1 ML.

Will be interesting to see if Sangaree's form transfers to the grass.

Is there a story behind the trainer change for Voodoo Swinge? I guess this explains his scratching a couple of weeks ago. He's a nice horse who I believe can win, but not deserving of the 3-1 ML, imo.

I like Stormy's Majesty to take them a long way on the front end here.
He will have to hold off Voodoo Swinge late.

Playing those 2 in exacta's and betting SM to Win.

The only thing more absurd than Voodoo Swinge being bet down to 6-5 was the ride he received. BRUTAL!

Rider switch is really what did it IMO. After the race it feels like he was probably 3rd best in there.

Amazingly I've read on this and another board people say they'd rather have Alan Garcia over Dominguez. Funny stuff.

As long as they are betting into the pools, let 'em say what they want.

I agree. Unfortunately I don't think they are.
