I think it looks like a good betting race. Price horses I think are live include Outperformance, Lewis Michael, & Can't Beat It. Outperformance may be my prime play (I hope he handles the distance) with good late pace figures.

Your life does not stink. YOu are doing better in life than anytime in the last three years. You just aren't mature enough yet to realize that getting a job, continuing to hold it, losing weight, etc has made your folks real proud and should make you proud as well. If you would get your head out of your ass about this girl who tossed you 4 years ago, you would realize this.

I think its a very entertaining bunch of horses offering tremendous wagering value. You have a horse like Showing Up, who is either going to flop or win going away, as the favorite. You have the consistent but less than brilliant Stream Cat who will take tons of money for Frenchy. I am throwing both of these horses out.

Should be a nice little race. Not sure why anybody would expect a "Million Dollar" type field.

I thought that Stream Cat was the m/l fave? Do you think that will change? I hope not...

Your point wasn't that bad. The fact is that on July 15 they basically have the identical race, same purse, 1/16 mile longer, 3yr olds, and it is a Grade II. The same horses probably will Show Up. Yes Show Up. There is your winner.

The Virginia Derby has been run for more years, so it is eligible for grading.

You must be hoping that Showing Up takes after his dad, because his mum's side hasn't produced many horses that have shown much liking for the green stuff. Turf records like x/0-0-0 in my APR.

I am well aware of how they grade races, but we shouldn't attack guys who don't know everything.

Showing Up loves the turf. I guess he does take after his dad. He actually has the same demeanor as Strategic Mission. SM was a pretty nice turf horse. His bottom isn't exactly garbage. He is out of a TV Commercial mare. Last I checked TV Commercial finished 3rd in the KY Derby. In my opinion, this race will not be competitive. He has way too much class and is much faster than the other horses in this race.

Should be a good betting race tomorrow, I'll take a stand against Showing Up, until he runs a race on Turf, I don't care how he's training....

As a side topic, I think one of the worst mistakes the commi tte made was making the Clark Handicap a Grade 1 this year, most of the G1 quality routers have hung it up by that time of the year, maybe they'll stay in training a little longer and try to get a G1, but I would rather see it go to the Arkansas Derby, strip the Blue Grass of any graded stature as well, since it's going to poly, there should be no graded racing on poly track.
