I think Dullahan can beat Howe Great this time.
The trip horse is going to be Heavy Breathing, who should tuck in nice and cozy behind Hansen, Scatman and maybe Hero Of Order. He's quick enough to stay close and some improvement in his final figs could put him in the mix. He ran pretty well last time in his graded stakes debut (lifetime best fig) and another move forward is plausible. Gets a patient jock in Lanerie and the right move may get him to the front in the lane.

Prospective projects to get a nice trip too but Contreras will probably find himself 4 wide on the last turn somehow instead of staying inside. He should be able to get an inside trip; just follow Lanerie !

my early exacta is 1-6 w 1-3-4-6

Dullahan - Flattered by Coalport in that last race....I'm guessing 3-1 at post time. What do you think the odds will be in multi's? Seems like many outlets have Dullahan winning....so I'm thinking PK3/PK4 Odds will be even lower.

Holy candy is likely not good enough, but 30to1?? Try more like 12 if even that high.

I like Midnight Crooner a little if he goes off at 15-1. He romped over a next-out winner in his only synth start. Not nominated to the TC, so it's not like they shipped here because they got Derby fever.

I agree about Midnight Crooner....Wonder why he wasn't nominated?

The conspiracy theorist in me assumes that MC was shipped and will win to ensure Bodemiester isn't blocked from the derby by someone like Holy Candy, etc.

Trainers have a lot to worry about, but I'm sure not many have had an argument over hair dye.
