High Finance wins, Awesome Twist ("from out of the clouds") 2nd, Commentator 3rd.

Rondo looked good there for a while anyway.....

VERY impressive win by High Finance. Attended quick fractions and still won by nearly 3. West Point has really hit the lottery with him and Flashy recently..

Great splits...43/108/121 Knowing West Point..they'll try to get him into Breeders Cup Sprint now! Not a bad payday either $120,000 for owners. Not a bad 4th of July party. I know they are popping the bubbly in the clubhouse bar right now!

May as well go with NBSB over the 2 long shots.

AGS looked solid by 5L over NBSB, Sighseek.

Perhaps there will someday be a stakes race that I analyze in writing on this site that I actually get right.
When that time will come, is anybody's guess.

I figured NoBiz would go to the lead. Boy was I wrong. Sightseeing ran a dandy, eh?

He's pretty horrible. I don't consider NoBiz to be a world beater and he couldn't hang with him.

He seems like the type of horse who needs the perfect setup to have a chance. I've never liked him and felt the hype he was getting earlier this year was a little much.

Agree and with Johnny V taking AGS wide around BOTH turns. Imagine where AGS would be today with a Wood win and this?

Rondo will take some money but he isn't good enough.
High Finance was a gift at that price. I was expecting 5/2.

Nobiz is simply a very good two-year-old who hasn't yet (and may never) mature into a superstar three-year-old.

4-for-69 (6%) last update I have.. For what it's worth, Nobiz's mom was 2/0-1-0 on turf with a high BSF of 79 and his two siblings never tried it.
