He left NY because Rathor smoked him in his last race. You can't lose allowance races and be HOY.
After thinking about it, HOY will go to Bernardini, Barbaro, Lava Man or Flower Alley. Can't see anyone else with a shot.

I just saw the past performances for this race ...
... and Mayan King has the highest Beyer rating ... tied with Master Command ... so ... ... where is all this skepticism coming from? Also ... I didn't realize that Prairie Meadows racing is at night. Yikes! It'll be midnight in New York by the time this race is run. Shipping ... post 12 ...screws in the ankle ... no decent Italian food ... and now a midnight post time ... Mayan King will have to be outstanding to overcome all this ... ... but fortunately ... he is.

BB, I should have let Contessa know... "Sam and Gabe's".. A very good Italian Steakhouse in Des Moines. Kind of a Gene and Georgetti's (Chicago).. You've likely not been to Des Moines.. You'd be very surprised. It's a pretty sophisticated town.. A small version of Kansas City basically.

Does the fact that Rathor and Noble Causeway were totally buried in the Suburban make any difference to your analysis of this race?

Both would have been competitive at 8f ... possibly with Rathor defeating Invasor ... but 10f is way beyond their scopes. On the other hand ... Mayan King is a true classic distance horse ... and when he's had a couple of graded-stakes under his belt ... and stays sound d.v. ... I think he can handle Invasor at 10f.

Rathor sure didn't flatter Mayan King in the Suburban, buit this is an easier group and I'm still going to go with Mayan King at 10-1 or better...he is the value here....Rathor didn't enjoy a good trip either....what the hell was he doing towards the rear in a race with a slow pace...weird....he certainly wasn't ready for a top effort today if he was that disinterested early on in the race.....I went with Dutrow and he just grinded along...Invasor was the best, hands down...

You can't know Kansas City that well to say that Mira.. I lived in Kansas City for 2 years.. Worked on and off in Chicago since 1983.. I'll give you Chicago over KC downtown, etc.. But beyond the "city", I'll take KC (The Plaza, et al) and its' 'livableness' over "Chicagoland" any time... And Des Moines is a spotlessly clean, friendly, wealthy small city...

They were in-and-out business trips ... buzzing through the Des Moines airport many times ... but never saw the town. I advised Gary to pack his own pasta and biscotti ... and I wouldn't be surprised if he did! After seeing today's Suburban ... I think Gary made a mistake by not staying home. But the ladies in Iowa are probably thrilled to have Keith Partridge visit them.
