They did the same thing in his last start. Passing on a $100k G3 to run in a $50k listed stake two weeks later. They're not being very ambitious with their spotting.

That being said, the Hill Prince looks like a great race.

Pletcher is very smart, and has a very good idea how good his horses are, and probably how far they want to run, so there is probably a reason he is running Affimatif shorter ( than Colonial ) and in perhaps less ambitious spots. Though, Friday's race is not an easy race.

An interesting horse, and I never thought I'd be plugging this plug, is Lime Rickey.

I feel the same way. I always thought he was a total phony, but he's clearly improved. His last race was very impressive.

Terrible angle usually, but my wife loves Lime Rickey. This will generally regulate a horse to 3rd or 4th.

So it looks like the forecast is saying rain for tomorrow...so I'm going to assume Belmont is going to be off the turf. How's that change everyone's thinking?

Mani Bhavan outclasses every horse in the Alyssum but she hasn't done much lately. And how will she do on a wet track?

I wonder what the chance of them keeping the two stakes on the turf is. . . totally kills the card if they have to take them off.

that was really unfortunate for her that they asked her to run 8.5 in decent company over that polytrack. She generally breaks alertly with gate quickness which should help her over a sealed track.

Reforestation is decent option with outside speed. Hollendorfer's filly is interesting longshot, works not impressive on paper.

Lime Rickey - I don't know if he will be the wiseguy choice today it seems many are interested in him today, but I like him also for the reasons already mentioned in this thread.
