I like Court Vision in this race, albeit the price will stink. His entrymate will be the one who will beat War Pass, a horse I wont be using at all. Its a tough 4 race sequence and I have to single in at least one race to make this worthwhile. To me Court Vision the most logical single.
War Pass hasnt shown he can rate, and he will have to rate behind Inner Light to win this. At a suspected price of even money, no thanks!

Just read that War Pass had an eventful flight and had to have stiches put in his chin. Another excuse?

I say toss him. Of course - everyone already has.

and thanks for mushing my horse jcs...

I don't remember Zito making any excuses for War Pass's performance the last time.

I'm looking at my post and I don't see where I claimed who made what excuses anywhere in it

I think Zito said, "beats the shot out of me" or maybe it wasn't what he said
just telling you the horse had a bad flight. stitches in his chin.
let War Pass wire the field. I don't give a rats

Sorry, must have misread this:

"Just read that War Pass had an eventful flight and had to have stiches put in his chin. Another excuse?"

I just assumed you were saying they had made excuses for his last race. I just didn't remember them doing that ...

Am I the only one going with First Commandment?

50-1 at the moment. The track is now "Fast".

War Pass is 4-5, this, after the last debacle

I'd sure as hell hate to see War Pass in the Derby. The Met Mile would be where I'd go. I'd actually hate to see any of the horses from this race in the Derby.

Just watched a random amount of replays from Aqueduct since they moved to the outer track, it looks to be favoring speed, horses in the 3 path certainly seem to be getting the best of it.

NYRA just announced that currently the track is listed as MUDDY...no rain in the forecast but that is not great news.

I'll have to look out for Jeanine Edwards and those great blue eyes now!

The track has to be fairer than when it was on the inner, War Pass looks like he will get an uncontested lead unless someone decides to play the sacrificial lamb, I can't take on War Pass nor am I going to back him. I'll give him the respect that he will bounce back but there are enough questions in my mind of what exactly did happen to him last time to steer clear of this race.
