I liked the James Van Der Beek one a lot better.

Not to change the subject, but do you guys think Proud Spell (or somebody else) has a shot against Indian Blesing here?

she is most likely to win, but the probables could favor a small wager on proud spell , highest class or asmussen (jolie?)

Considering what's out there, this looks like a very solid card. How playable it is, I can't opine on yet.

Think Asmussen made the right call shipping Silver Lord back to New Orleans. Yeah, he was stabled in Hot Springs but IMO, I think both Grasshopper and Magna Graduate are vulnerable. We still have to see how Grasshopper runs when he isn't prompting a slow pace at Saratoga and I just don't trust Magna Graduate. We know Silver Lord already handles the track down there. Think he can roll/

After barely holding off Golden Doc A at 7f last time, I was told that it was further proof that Indian Blessing couldn't get past a mile. Well, she got past a mile again today, again beating Proud Spell. Yeah, she was getting late again in the lane but as I said last time, what does that matter? She was set to run the conditions of today's race and ran them well.

Who knows how far she will go but if she was in a race with just about any 3yo male not named War Pass or El Gato Malo, at this point, I don't see any that I'd take over her up to 8.5 or maybe even 9f. Her speed is a bigger advantage than it is a disadvantage.
