i wonder which tres borrachos will show up.....when that horse is at his best, he wins races like these. i could see him winning this. then there's informed.

i'm going with:

10. Mine That Bird (KY), C H Borel, 121, B L Woolley, Jr

For those of you that bet on that crap surface; is there anything to suggest that Gitano Hernando is any worse than Muhannak was? and is there anything to suggest the rest of the synthetic slowpokes in this race are any slower than the synthetic slowpokes in the Marathon last year? Seems like anytime you have a crappy Euro that might go off at long odds on the fake tires you have to bet it.

Who's your cat in the fight? If someone wants to give me a reason why the American horses will crush the Euro then please do so. If not then let's just discuss what the best timing mechanism is.
