Flower Alley has a huge advantage over Invasor with two very strong races over the track. Probably looking at a small field. Zito said Commentator will not run per DRF.

Flower Alley (Pletcher/Velazquez)
Andromedas Hero (Zito/Velasquez)
Sun King (Zito/Bejerano)
Premium Tap (Kimmel/Prado)
Invasor (McLaughlin/Castellano)

I read this after his overnight stakes win. Perhaps things have changed

Quote:
Zito was noncommittal on whether he would keep Commentator sprinting or stretch him out again. Two Grade 1 races that Commentator could be pointed to - the seven-furlong Forego or the nine-furlong Woodward - are both run on Sept. 2 at Saratoga. Zito said he would not run Commentator back in the Whitney on Aug. 5.

Perhaps they are changing their minds. Evidentally he's been nominated

Quote:
Commentator will work over the weekend, after which Zito will sit down with owner Tracy Farmer and make a decision (about the Whtiney). The two are expected to run Sun King in the Whitney against Flower Alley and Invasor.

Andromedas Hero will run off of 4 days rest?

If Commentator and Invasor both start it should be a heck of a race.

Looking forward to it.

Premium Tap is a sprinter isnt he? Sun King is much better at the sprint distances up to 1 mile. I dont like either of these 2.

Flower Alley is, well Flower Alley. Great horse, loves this place. If all these mentioned horses start, he should work out a great stalking trip on a track thats been favoring these kind.

Lol, probably not. Just read DTS's post and went with it. Given that the horse looked like a tired drunk down the lane (or was it just me? ) I cant see them bringing him back quickly at all!

Even tired drunks can beat Wilko

I've seen drunken sailors walk straighter and stronger than that.
