Just watched a random amount of replays from Aqueduct since they moved to the outer track, it looks to be favoring speed, horses in the 3 path certainly seem to be getting the best of it.

NYRA just announced that currently the track is listed as MUDDY...no rain in the forecast but that is not great news.

I'll have to look out for Jeanine Edwards and those great blue eyes now!

The track has to be fairer than when it was on the inner, War Pass looks like he will get an uncontested lead unless someone decides to play the sacrificial lamb, I can't take on War Pass nor am I going to back him. I'll give him the respect that he will bounce back but there are enough questions in my mind of what exactly did happen to him last time to steer clear of this race.

I would imagine Inner Light is entered in the race for that very reason.

Exactly J.

With CC Lopez aboard....who rides for Mott like...never.

He will be told to do what he does best and hope to run WP into the ground.

Weather is gorgeous right now, and it didn't rain all that much yesterday. Should be a fast track.

When CC sends, he'll be quick enough for 3/4's. He may not make the lead, but he'll ensure War Pass has to go fast.
