High Finance , confusion

[1st_Saturday_in_May]

He is growing on me, I must say. Right now I'm thinking of a 5 horse tri box - High Finance, Bluegrass Cat, Deputy Glitters, Steppenwolfer, and either Jazil or Oh So Awesome or Bob and John...hmmmm decisions decisions

I almost completely agree with you! My four favorite horses in this race are Steppenwolfer, Deputy Glitters, High Finance and Bluegrass Cat. I am a little bit scared by Sunriver however. I notice that you didn't even mention him as a possiblity for your tri box. Why are you tossing him?

Can't really see Sunriver winning, he was all out against Lewis Michael, the race was paceless, but it was very unimpressive...

Sunriver winning in a paceless race is a positive from where I sit. He also closed at Gulfstream on a day where nobody else made a move all day. I may have squeezed all I can out of him taking a shorter than expected price in the Peter Pan, but Pletcher has this one running as good as anyone in this race.

As for High Finance, the reason he hasn't run more than 8f yet is because they don't card many maiden races at those distances. I'll toss him confidently.

High Finance will have zero problem with the distance. He will win in a walk just like his broodmare sire Conquistador Cielo. If the track is wet it will be an even bigger margin.

I think he's got a shot... I'll definately include him in my P-4 ticket.

Pretty bold to say a horse never going more than a mile against maidens will have no problem going 12f in a G1. Besides, Conquistador Cielo really hasn't been a strong source of stamina as a sire. If I recall, his Belmont, though impressive, was aided by a sloppy track.
