Not seeing that at all (Emcee) but what do I know.

I really like Rothko here.

That's the official warning for you all to avoid him at all costs.

why?

seems to me, if he breaks well, he won't be left alone on the lead-sloane ranger is probably going straight for the front as well. and if he doesn't break well...he's shown what happens in that scenario.

I think your being a bit hard on him. It is only his 5th or 6th career start. No one can deny that Grade 3,three back was a Grade 1. He faced some of the best sprinter/milers and ran very well. Again he was thrown to the absolute best 2 back and had a bit of a trip. Then last time he rates kindly and gets the confidence booster plus more racing experience. I may be a sucker for the upside, we shall see. Good luck

Royal Carrier is a more likely pacesetter than Sloane Ranger IMO. Will be interesting to see what Velazquez does on Shackleford.

I think tomorrow is Emcee's coming out party as the best sprinter on the east coast. He has a legit excuse in the Carter, when he missed the break by at least 3-4 lengths, then rushed up. He tired, as expected. His last was strong and he really exploded the last 1/8 when Garcia asked him for run. Obviously the time off is a concern, but he's the real deal IMO.

I think this is right. I also can say with 100% certainty that Sloane Ranger is not making the lead in this race.

i think he'll go for it-whether he gets it is another story. at any rate, i think the front end may be crowded.

I don't see why that affects Emcee. He's proven himself rating.
