if there speed entered, than i would use giacomo and/or perfect drift underneath. huge question mark on geo washington and david junior. DJ is the real deal, but dirt is the HUGE question mark.

i'll be pulling for pine island.
as for the juvies, i doubt point ashley is going. don't really care who wins either one.
i am looking forward to the day as a whole. only horse i really plan to 'root for' is pine island. all the others i'll just watch and enjoy the best take on each other.

i think Premium Tap deserves to be there, and I really think he hits the board if not threatens to win it! -OK, maybe a bit over-optimistic, but I really think he won't shame himself in this spot.

i don't mean i'm surprised due to thinking he doesn't belong...i'm just surprised since they said after his last win that they really weren't interested.

Maybe they think they have the better of the TWO PLEASANT TAP HORSES on the dirt.

certainly not the better of the two pleasant tap horses overall

but on the dirt, he just may be.

i like the other better in the classic, though there's no fighting pleasant tap's gutsiness.

for what its worth (not much b/c I will not cap it until Nov 3 at 6PM), but here are initial thoughts.

BCJ-dont really care, but go with CQuay. if nothing else, it will p*ss the polytrack guys off.
BCJF-really dont care. PAshley if she runs. I have a friend named Ashley and she is really hot.
BCMFT-go deep. Vacare has a shot to hit at a price.
BCS-Bordonaro seems the most likely winner.
BCM-Librettist. Aussie Rules and Gorella rounding out the tri.
BCD-Spun Sugar. same reason as CQuay and I think she is the best of the Pletcher fillies.
BCT-uh, who is coming? Shirocco if he runs. If not, English Channel is the best of the US horses.
BCC-Bernardini. DJunior is the unknown and the next most likely winner. what does that say about the field as compared to Bernardini?

Bernie, in the Classic take it from the horse's mouth or at least the trainer's. 'Bernie is the best I've had'. Good enough for me but for all nay sayers that's why there are mutual pools.

Juvenile Fillies: Point Ashley / Cotton Blossom
Juvenile Colts: Scat Daddy / Circular Quay
Turf F&M: Wait a While / Gorella (if she runs this race)
Sprint: Henny Hughes / Siren Lure
Mile: Aragorn / George Washington
Distaff: Balleto / Pine Island
Turf: English Channel / Cacique
Classic: Bernardini / Perfect Drift (likes CD track)

any thoughts !!!

George Washington is pointing to the Classic.

I like a lot of your picks, and will probably use a lot of the same horses.

i think most of those are logical picks -- while i haven't made up my mind yet as i haven't really compared all the horses side by side with who they will be running against yet....i would say this:

Juvenile Fillies: Dreaming of Anna/Cotton Blossom (Sutra also, as slow as molasses as she is, if i decide that the pace is going to be wicked)
Juvenile: Street Sense
FM Turf: Ouija Board/Vacare as a bomber if she goes
Sprint: Bordonaro, and while I doubt she'd go, I'd take Malibu Mint in a second as well -- trying to stay away from the obvious here
Mile: Gorella
Distaff: Happy Ticket/Round Pond
Turf: Shirocco/Cacique/Better Talk Now
Classic: Invasor/David Junior/Bernardini in that order

just saw news on suave, he is being pointed to the classic....will retire to stand stud in '07 for 17.5k.

hey oracle, see, they do announce fees for some before they officially retire!
