Mach Ride is going to win the Mr. Prospector earlier in the day.
Without having PP's, over Weigilia and Kelly's Landing? (has High Finance raced since the Perryville?)

I guess High Finance could win, though he was supposed to go in the Malibu, and one has to always be concerned when West Point misses a Grade 1. Kelly's Landing is ridiculous and I don't like Wegilia and would have to think the mud had a lot to do with his last win.

I haven't seen the pps but I think Mach Ride is a good horse. A VERY good horse.

I wouldn't call Kelly's Landing ridiculous against this field, he does seem to run a good one now and then, although are most of those at 7f?

He's generally considered a Churchill specialist but he did run well at Gulfstream last year in an allowance, probably his best effort not at Churchill or on polytrack.

I think he is ridiculous against any real horse when he doesn't get a candy trip. Frankly, any horse that really only runs well at Churchill scares me. His few decent races were too long ago for my taste.

I think Mach Ride could be one of the better sprinters in the country this year.

I like the 6th on the card as well.

I still can't believe the OTB didn't settle with Gulfstream yet.
