His final quarters in two of his last three are :22.28 and :22.63 - with that kind of closing kick and all the speed in here it looks like he should walk. The 10 looks intriguing to me too, but they have him listed as the favorite, which wouldn't surprise me.

I would be shocked if he went of anywhere close to 8-1.

Doesn't Ezpinoza usually ride Dick Mandella's best horses?

This race too caught my attention and the Mandella horse, #7, was the one that I was immediately drawn to. The late pick four looks as challenging as any.

Here is the ML:
1) 20
2) 6
3) 6
4) 12
5) 8
6) 6
7) 5
8) 12
9) 7/2
10) 9/2

I'll most likely key Meteore to some others in an exacta. My guess on the likely odds is 3/1 because as you say lots of horses certainly have merit. Need a little more PP time.

I'll be watching TVG closely looking for some body language clues listening for additional hints from possible paddock interviews.
