I think you guys might be confusing this year's Wanderin Boy with the horse from the last couple years.

His comeback race was in the slop and then his allowance earlier in the Saratoga meet was impressive. He was never that good to begin with and I don't see much to make me believe he is any different this year than he has been.

Ass horses don't seem to be running insane lately, so I wouldn't expect Curlin to run like he's juiced out of his mind.

Then again, I'm not sure it matters.

The Wanderin Boy of 2006 could wire this field and it wouldnt be much of a surprise. But the current version of Wanderin Boy? That would be a surprise. Divine Park and Loose Leaf will be tought to stop in the stretch.

If I am not mistaken Loose Leaf ran a great race a couple weeks ago at Toga winning at decent odds against some decent company. The ole line "Horse For The Course" logic may be in place and work? I gotta grab the form tomorrow and maybe make a play at lunch from work on Saturday when I see a ML at 15-1 on a good horse.

Pace scenario is very evident based on the entries, and as said if Curlin sees a bit of trouble..............

Loose Leaf is a nice horse and loves it up here. I think he deserves a key to the city.
