I'm jealous too! I really want to make it up there one year.

My friends who live up in the area are probably the most enthusiastic bunch of fans I've ever met.

Sounds like a party every race day.

Looks like a great betting race. Awesome Gem and Gladdding are the ones to beat but are not locks and there are at least 5 others that rate a chance.Should be good value everywhere.

Gladding supposedly didn't ship well and may be a scratch. Will dramatically change the pace scenario.

I tried to force myself to go against Awesome Gem, I went to St Liams Halo but AG has just too much class for this group and I decided not to talk myself out of betting him. Played a tri and spent $32

With Gladding scratched AG is going to be a prohib fav. Looks like Taylor Said is going to take a lot more money now as won't have Gladding to contend with on front end. I am going for 2 price plays. St Liams Halo who will be overlooked because Mario went to TS and has ton of gate speed to get a good position. Just lost in race over track and was winner 1 jump past wire.Other horse not to leave out is Jebrica. Penney has won 5 Miles and has last yr 3 yr old champ peaked for this.
ex and tri boxes -3,9,10,11

I think the only one who could beat Awesome Gem is Hudson Landing but I've decided to stay away from this race in terms of playing it.

Awesome Gem, Assessment, Gallant Son... I would need surgery to rid myself of sentiment so yeah forget it but good luck to you all who are playing and come home safe all.

I just love this race every single year... maybe they're not all monsters but it's always a fun field and the day racing stops being fun is the day I say goodbye to it.
