I know my case for MJ might be pretty flimsy, and I look like I'm just reaching for a longshot---and I'll admit that the horse has been on my radar for a real long time---but I think he's one of a just a few horses, in the stakes, on the Belmont undercard---whom I believe really has a decent longshot look.

I'll be playing MJ, too. One of the first things I learned on this board was that Shug/Phipps horses are well placed when it comes to stakes and graded races - they don't enter unless they believe they can do well. Shugs got 4 horses in on Saturday and I'm betting at least one will win - hopefully it's MJ at a nice price (but I'll be playing the other 3 as well )
