Pine Island has the speed figs, recent success, and runnnig style that I think many players will ultimately cling to when it comes downs to it....Plus, Shug's reputation in this race is such that I think she'll get even more extra credit for it - moreso than Fleet ndian will get for being trianed by Pletcher IMO...

Maybe 5-2 is too low, but I see her as taking the most money when it is all said and done..... think she goes favored in the race. If I were making the ML I would install her at 5/2 - 3/1 with Fleet Indian a notch above her - all depending on how the points fell of course....we'll see in 9 days :)

I think Pine Island is the fav as well. But geez 5/2--really. I wouldn't bet her at 5/2 with someone else's money--well maybe I would. But in a race I see as wide open I can't take anything less than 6-1.
