It would come as no shocker of course if she scratches, but an interesting placement of DOWN. She did well on the Turf last out so I figured we'd be seeing her there. Nice filly.

(Dream Rush rules. )

Half the field is a sentimental pick for me

Have you seen Astor Park's races? They paid a pretty penny for her and have good luck with those types.

I like Down, but this placement seems a bit ambitious to me.

From DRF.com

There was some controversy at the post position draw for the Test. It was originally drawn with 12 runners as High Again was inadvertently left out of the field. The race was redrawn and some contenders drew significantly different posts.

Silver Knockers, a filly who has been saddled with an inside draw in four of six starts, originally had post 12. Now, she'll break from the rail, a post Nick Zito did not want.

"I'm not too happy about it," Zito said. "It's a Grade 1 race, I'd like to know how you could forget to a put the horse in."

Astor Park looks interesting. She will need to improve to win but improvement should be expected. Plus,Todd B. & Ramon D. are underrated,she has a good post for her running style,M/L @ 20/1 worth a small saver bet.

*snort* How very Keystone Cops. If Zito's frustrated I can only imagine how High Again's connections must've felt going 'uh, guys, you forgot somebody...'

I am sure Zito is frustrated....as is anybody that has been foolish enough to bet on any of his horses in graded stakes races recently. His record is just awful this year.
