I see this as a very useful race for Bird... Remember this isn't the big prize...
Soaring by will be sent to the front... If Bird goes after early.. he may not be fit enough to last... If he waits too long... he will have to swing 6 wide turning into the stretch and that will be a problem as other horses seem more fit... IMO this is only a tune-up....
Pletcher will win this race... He may win 3 or 4 today....
