Probably third. Second at best. No disgrace in that though. At least I don't think so anyway. I just thought about it because the first ones mentioned that they wouldn't have a chance against were those three. I don't know if they'd even beat those three but I think those three showed they are no world beaters to be avoided at all costs and that BL and HdG would at least rate a chance.

I think the overall point was that there was depth in the prospective Whitney field. I think Blind Luck and Havre de Grace are terrific but they would have been very hard pressed to win the Whitney the way it unfolded.

That being said, I hope they are in the Personal Ensign. You never know, I might need the 4/5 on that exacta to get bailed out for the weekend.

Shame these 2 will not likely hook-up in the near future. The 2010 Alabama at Saratoga was a classic stretch duel and BL's move was all heart! I had the pleasure of being trackside for that one! Was hoping they would hook in the Personal Ensign....no joy!

Actually, the first one mentioned was Tizway.

Regardless, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Rail Trip and Morning Line hardly gave a their typical performance in the race. One went straight to a clinic in Kentucky, the other probably won't be heard from again until Aqueduct next winter or Hollywood Park next spring.

Same here but she has not been her best at Del Mar (not that she has been her best at Santa Anita either). I was hoping to see it but she has been all over the country again this year and I think if he says she needs the rest, she needs the rest. Wouldn't want to come up short again in Nov.

I would easily take her running next year over seeing her run against the boys in the Pacific Classic over a track that can sometimes yield random results.
