According to PG'85....

"Only two horses can possibly win the Whitney. The rest have NO CHANCE!"

After my refusing to ask him which two ... he got annoyed and disclosed that only Tizway or Duke of Mischief can possibly win.

Eliminate accordingly.

I'd be thrilled to see Rail Trip look like himself again. I won't hold my breath or anything...

Just sayin.

Haven't looked at PP's yet but I'm a fan of Pomeroy's Pistol and Miss Keller (well -Tapitsfly too).

Looks like a fun day!

Used to be a huge Rail Trip fan. Sure hope he can run his best race and get up here. At 12/1 on the morning line, I'll be really happy afterwards if he gets it done.

I don't want him to remember it. I want him to relive it. Hell, Larry Bird remembers how good he was but that sure as hell wouldn't help him play today lol.

The De La Rose is an interesting race.

Deluxe is, I believe, the second to last of the Hasili's.

It will be interesting to see if Mott can get the same sort of results that Frankel did with progeny of that mare.

My betting strategy for the Whitney:

Automatically toss out any horse at 6-1 or lower. Every single horse in the race has a shot. Put the other numbers in a hat. Draw out four and box them in the exacta.

Looks like Mott is doing his best Frankel, scratching Deluxe!
