Nevertheless, he'll probably be way overbet. Akkadian had his own wall of hype during the Santa Anita meet, and his pointless loss in the Affirmed on the main track last out may make his odds enticing.

Huge fan of Chosen Miracle, saw his turf work two back and it was IMO very good. Final 1/4 in 11.3 under hold....

His pedigree seems interesting for the turf and his CA-bred dam was a very good Grade 2 racemare. Seems like the outside post coupled with the horrendous effort in his only route try will be too much to overcome, though.
