The Turf race could be a real humdinger

Was it the same panel that voted to retire Tiz The Law that came up with the 'order of preference' for the invitees?

How does Storm the Court make the body of the turf race? He should be on the reserve list even if it was a short field...

Meanwhile, how does Math Wizard, who hasn't won since 2019 and hasn't hit the board in over 6 months preferred over Idol who has been hyped to no end and comes off a narrow lost to one of the other invitees?

Until someone can explain how these races are called "World Cup" I can't be bothered to laugh at the fields

Anothertwistafate just got in if his connections want it. Mucho Gusto, the Remington and Sunland Park also-ran, has been retired due to injury after one comeback start. (Baffert not wasting any time picking up where he left off in 2020, thinning the already anemic divisional playing field for Mucho Gusto's more highly regarded stablemate).

We may get the showdown between this Emerald Downs Kingpin and the Charles Town Champion that a race of this stature so richly deserves...

2021 already looking very shaky. Anybody willing to hold their breath that Charlatan and Maxfield will make it to (never mind actually target) the Met Mile? Would mention 3yo Life Is Good for that race but doubt the connections have the requisite shrewdness...
