If the race was longer, then HR would be a better play... just think she needs more distance.

No way. Jennie R. goes from 50K claimer to GI winner in two and a half months.

You heard it here first.

The Beverly D. is looking like a nice, competitive field.

Hasn't he been on a few month layoff though?

he's been off since Singapore in late May. Im just hoping this was the plan all along, but a prep run would have been nice!!

Zip, I hate to disagree with you, but I really think the Irridescence will roll. She's been pointed for this and the 6yr old Team Valor mare is in the best shape of her life according to de Kock. She's the ultimate shipper having won races in Hong Kong, Dubai, and South Africa. Also, 10 furlongs is her best distance and a mile and 3/16th hits her right between the eyes.

She's tougher than a $2 steak. Here's a video of her last race in a Group 1 versus some of the top European milers. Team valor colors with the shadow roll. The call is in french,
