A good rule of thumb for Fort Larned: bet him if he's not favored, but go against him when he is favored. Money burner last 3 times he's been favored, including twice at odds on. But when he's overlooked, he's dangerous. Seen that he's 7-5 on the morning line, it looks like time to go against him.

I think Cross Traffic can go off the post time favorite.

Cross Traffic can definitely win the race, but I'd be surprised if he went off at lower odds than Fort Larned. Although he's been very impressive, he hasn't run beyond a mile while FL not only won last year's Whitney, he won last year's BC Classic and is coming off a 116 Beyer.

Steve, any reason why Fast Bullet is not in the Vanderbilt? I see that he is working every week at Del Mar. Would have been quite a race with him included...

I know they talked about him coming for the Forego with Paynter (Woodward)..

Amazingly, he has worked 6 times since his last start and still is not ready.
