FINALLY: a good match up-- the Virginia Derby
Once upon a time there'd be plenty of competitive turf races. Now, we settle for the precious few a year.
Sailor's Cap vs. Gio Ponti.

Gio Ponti won the Hill Prince at Belmont with a very nice late move. Sailor's Cap followed up a good second to Tizdejavu at CD with a very big race in the Colonial Turf Cup where he won by 6+ lengths. It is an interesting matchup, and I hope they both go to Chicago next and square off with Tizdejavu again in the Secretariat.

Can Gio Ponti get a mile and a quarter off the mile effort? He's by Tale of the Cat. Not the most likely sire of long distance grass runners. Is Sailor's Cap a soft track move-up? I give El Sultry Sun a shot at 10-1 along with Old Man Buck at 5-1. They'll be the ones I play in the back end of my pick 3.
