Seems like a small field. Small field, pace can win the race. Tin Man could get some easy fractions if no more than 7 show up.

Have EC bring that rabbit with him LOL Seriously tho if any horse can get out there and run faster then 3 hr 1/2 mile Tin Man is done Cacique is gonna be 2 or 3 from the lead ready for the stalking trip

This probably will be a big field alot of horses have a good chance plus could get a few Euros over, not like the sprint where only 3 or 4 horses look far above the others

I have a feeling they bought the rabbit for more than just the Joe Hirsch. I think if they can get him in here they will.

If they bought AI to be a rabbit...they need to have a jockey on him that knows the meaning...someone call Tommy Turner.

Sniper there is no reason for that unless that horse runs faster then he did in the last race. The Tin Man ran a faster time in the Million then the rabbit did.

Yeah, they obviously need him to go much faster but I don't think that should be too much of a problem if the jockey doesn't try and steal the race this time.

The Tin Man definetely struggled in his last race. That was not his best performance.

You never know. We know an Eurpean is going to the lead. That leaves Caique or English Channel. Maybe the put more pressure on him, but that means that they are not racing their game.

EB...that is EXACTLY EC's game. Sit two lengths of the leader...make sure decent fractions are set...and then make the move. Just like the Canadian Turf at Gulf...like the Woodford at Church...like the UN at Monmouth. Chasing SLOW fractions...Manhattan and Arl. Million...he is not gonna go by them. These top flight turf horses are gonna be tough to pass if they are allowed to set soft fractions.

No way does English Channel sit 2nd off of TTM. EC will be 3rd or 4th sitting about 5 lengths behind TTM. English Channel cannot win the race if he stays within 2 of TTM.

If he sets faster fractions than he did in the Million...he certainly can.
