gander, i totally agree. the pace could be crawling with regal ransom in the lead. its the perfect set up for the two horses you mentioned. give summer bird and quality road a slow moving target like this and one of them will get first jump at the lead. the poly is the question, will these two like it? looking at QR breeding, i think he will. mine that birds only shot is if this race collapses, which i don't see. add the fact that zenyatta is going to be overbet and you have a nice number. after seeing that jockey gold cup, i'm convinced that the 3 yo's are better than these older horses. i might be wrong but after seeing richards kid win the pacific classic and place in the goodwood. my feeling is most of the older division has no shot in this race. you could not find macho again within a pole of the top two when he raced them.(its probably the real reason he is not racing saturday) i think quality road and summer bird are this countries best shot at the best price that will be given.
