CD: Foster, N. Dancer & Jeff Cup Fields

[VOL JACK]

[quote=justindew]I have a thought. It's a shame this field has been assembled for a Grade 1.
I think this is a pretty legite G1. Esp. when U consider last years running.

It is a reflection of the handicap division IMO.

Magna's nothing special. . .

The two most likely winners are Diamond Stripes and Master Command. . . Wanderin Boy or Flashy Bull wouldn't totally shock me either . . .

Northern Dancer - potentially nice payout here. I want to beat Chelokee here, but I am worried that Dominguez steals the race again from the front end. The track shouldn't be as kind to speed as Preakness day, but as much as I want to beat Chelokee here that is my primary worry. Do you guys see another horse to control the pace and keep Dominguez from being 3 or 4 ahead at the top? I don't think Chelokee has a chance from off the pace. Velazquez will probably be tracking Chelokee with Sam P.
Nakatani is up on Tsali? I don't like Tsali here, but Tsali stretches out from 7furlongs, and maybe Nakatani tries to be smart and ends up opening up the race for Prom Shoes, Sam P. and maybe looseleaf or zanjero???

I agree that Chelokee is VERY beatable. . . Don't know with who yet. . .

Nakatani basically played his hand to take away an easy win for Chelokee, and Dominguez still gets the jump on the field. Lucky for him he only had to beat Zanjero's patented middle-move. Chelokee may have been best, but it was a nice ride.

Looked like Velazquez tracked Chelokee pretty well with Sam P. but didn't threaten. Loose Leaf ran pretty well form wise, maybe just not at this level. Prom Shoes is also probably a notch below but kind of ended up in no-mans land and I don't want to say Prado underestimated those in front nearing the turn...

What the @#&(*@&#(*@# Master Command. Where were you!?!?!

If Robbie Albarado gets the Eclipse Award then it's a sure sign the end of the world is near.

Gomez had a lot of horse.

Master Command can't handle being behind a really fast pace. He's done this before; his dominating races occur when he in on or just off a 47- or thereabouts pace.
