People said that Big Brown was a lock in the Belmont and look what happened. I am tired of people thinking horses are an automatic lock! It wouldn't surprise me if any of those horses won the Classic, except for Smooth Air...that's the only one that would surprise me.

Are Duke of Marmalade and HenrytheNavigator commited to running in the Classic as well? Ravens Pass is a nice horse.

Anyone care to take a shot at the morning line? I'm wondering what kind of price I'll see on Colonel John and Student Council.

You know, for all the complaints about horses careers continuing, 3 of the top 5 finishers from last year's Classic are in this race, (Curlin, Awesome Gem, Tiago), as well as I think 3 other former BC participants in Pyro, Student Council and Go Between...

and i just saw that bids for the 20% interest in curlin are due by 11/5. keeneland is handling the sale of midnights cry's share. i'd think that the odds of him running again pst-bc are now between slim and none.
