The Carter looks like a good, interesting race... the rest, not so much.

I'll be there for viewing purposes only...

i dont think the carter is intresting, i think its a 2 horse race between keyed entry and latent heat, i think the intresting race is the Excelsior, corinthian and magna graduate are 2 very solid older horses and happy hunting looked very good in his comeback race, i expect huge things out of corinthian this year and i think he wins this race easily though, it is intresting to me though because i want to see how he runs outside of gulfstream.

You take those at short prices, have fun.

I'll take my chances on a closing bomb like Ah Day because if those two try to go with Atilla's early they'll get fried at the quarter pole.

Silver Wagon is also pointing to the Carter and he ran pretty well last time out at Laurel and kind of likes Aqueduct.

A pace duel would really enhance his chances. I suppose he'll need a new rider though as Prado will certainly be on Latent Heat.

Yes, agree. Silver Wagon loves 7F as well. Worth a wager at 4-1 or higher.

Plus the weather for Saturday may be on the cold windy side, Bring back the inner track....LOL

Last I heard, David Flores is flying in to ride latent heat and Les Grand Trois for Frankel.

Oh nice then maybe Prado won't be in NY at all. I wondered...especially with Keeneland's power-packed lineup.

Just read that Prado will be at Oaklawn Saturday (a surprise to me, too).
He'll ride Lawyer Ron in the Oaklawn Park Handicap, and assume he'll have a mount in the Apple Blossom, too.

[NTamm1215]

Probably India in the Apple Blossom. He's become Pletcher's #2b with Gomez.

Happy Hunting looked good in his comback race? You mean sitting a perfect trip behind two duelers when the favorite was eased is " looking good "?

He is too slow probably even for a mediocrity like Magna Graduate. Feel free to tell me about any legitimately fast race Happy Hunting has EVER run.

MG is a decent G3 horse. So he couldn't beat the HOTY who returned an won the world's richest horserace. Doesn't make him "nothing." He's a G3 horse, running in a G3 race.
