Fair enough. It is an open race, for sure, unless Caleb's Posse's connections smarten up. I thought his Phoenix was poor, as it was a bad field, and I didn't think he ran particularly well, but at the very least, he's not really a synth horse.

What do you do with Dullahan now that he's running on the dirt?

Give Dale a hard time for running him there, root for him, but not bet a penny.

That's probably the right approach, but I loved his last race so much that I don't know if I can let him go if he's 8-1+. It's not like his brother couldn't handle the main track, and maybe they put him on turf to get him going long as early as possible. Have to look at him a little closer still.

8:1 would be inviting, but I don't buy that he's a dirt horse. However, I can see throwing him in.

Back to the sprint....aren't they all running for second if Jackson Bend decides to go there?

Am I an idiot for thinking Force Freeze has a big shot here?

Agreed on Hamazing Destiny looking to run big though, especially if they can convince Rosario to get back on.

Why can't he win? He's run two straight good races.

Cross a line through Trappe Shot's run in the mud at Bel (which was still OK) and he's far and away the best in here. Don't really understand why they're going first preference in the Mile.

Most of all, though, as much as I like him I'm very much against Big Drama in here as the ML favorite. Of those that remain, I don't have a great opinion but I'd love to see the NY bred Giant Ryan win.
