That's how this race will be run. Up close, then just pull away.

Hate to agree with everyone else but I think Hard Spun is the choice. . .

Street Sense

I'm jumping on the Hard Spun bandwagon, due to his sparkling work this week.

I've really taken a liking to Hard Spun as the week goes on.

But no changing my thought on who my one derby horse is -- Street Sense. After finally closing my jaw last November I knew he was it, and nothing has happened to change that assessment.

Brian, once again, you made me sit on my hands to avoid posting what I REALLY thought. LMAO

I've been on Scat Daddy, Quay, and recently AGS, but the buzz on Street Sense has sold me another bill of goods. Last year I loved Barbaro until I bought the SNS hype, so this could very likely be another mistake.

If it's one horse I'll go with the price play as always. Cowtown Cat surprises here in the mud.

Hmmm...am wondering if anybody has any comments on Hard Spun's post position in relation to the rest of the speed in the race....

Sam P.

I think there are about 7 horses more likely to win the race, but Sam P.'s odds may be the biggest overlay anyway.

Oh yes, mwuhahahaha, I love it!! I agree with BTW when he said Sam P had a pretty nice race in the SA Derby. Game to the end, thru traffic, I like his chances to hit the board in this race.

Curlin and he finishes strongly,

Check his 94 Moss late pace fig. (Moss' highest)

He uses his #2 post position for advantage, gets a rail trip and lets the speed peppered all around him set a crazy pace. He's shown that he can get position, maintain it and relax...speedsters won't hurry him.His quick turn of foot gets him out of trouble if boxed in. He's got guts and muscle to barrel through a seam when it's time.
