No, forget Rising Moon.
He has little (to no) chance unless he makes a significant change in mechanics today in the stretch which I have no reason to suspect. Wonder if Dutrow/Desormeaux are even aware...

Musketier looking better, Grand Couturier still looking good. Nothing really that interesting to me in betting although I still think that Americain can be beat and he could still be heavily backed.

for a 10 horse field that doesn't have an obvious standout, the odds really suck here. Grand Couturier and Musketier are both about where they should be. The only real nice value bet in the WPS is Musketier to show as he is currently 7th choice with 8 min to post. Show betting is pretty taboo anyway.

1 with 6,8,10 in the exacta isn't terrible either but nothing to go bananas about.

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

His races at longer distances weren't that bad, and he usually finished strongly in his races. He didn't exactly face the toughest field in the Sword Dancer either.

yea he looked like he could close for 2nd or 3rd if everything went his way, but did he race close up? just behind Quijano? Hard to tell on the xpressbet feed. That I didn't expect.

- Yea he started out an unexpected close up 4th to a collapsing pace. huh...

horrible ride by desormeaux on Moon but he didn't have any horse and he doesn't want to stay on his right lead in the stretch.

He was just behind the front 4.

I had 10 across on him. A Suffolk chump that one the finale yesterday convinced me the locals are kinda garbage this year.
