It's sort of interesting that Gayego, who ran the best of Godolphin's BC entrants should be held out of this race.

Vineyard Haven was fried by the pace, and could very well be fried here as well, with confirmed frontrunners Haynesfield and Friend Or Foe lining up.

Girolamo ran too poorly in the BC Sprint to think that it just "wasn't his day". He looked uncomfortable throughout the race. Going on 3 years now, he has made--what?--an average of 3 starts per season.

Gayego may not have the talent of those two (something that is debatable, really), but he doesn't have huge gaps in his race record and has won important races between 6f and 9f.

Betting question here

Since the 1 and 4 are gonna be coupled as 1 and 1A,does this mean 5-9 all move up betting wise or do they keep the same spot?

I would have thought that Gone Astray would have taken a shot against this less then stellar group. I suppose Shug likes him better going two turns? What is left in NY two turns the Queens County? There is a stallion maker

Really looking forward to the Remsen with THAS and Buffum.......hopefully it won't be sloppy as we're going to get hit with a lot of rain between tomorrow afternoon and Friday morning
