This horse is nearly always in the mix, even tho mostly maidens. He is comming of of an impressive win after the maiden score.I generaly dont like top horses that take more than 3 or 4 races to break maiden. The last looks like a nice one. Should we think this horse move forward or regress in the Belmont. I know if a win is anticipated he will need a signifant move forward but does his Sheet numbers sugest a regression or a competetive race?

Let's see..Broke maiden in 4th at 7f and then wires a n1x...now he's asked in a G1, although not exactly proven G1 competition...He should be one of the early leaders and has held well when pressed early. The maiden loss to Bernandini looks a whole lot better now, though he was crushed that day. I think it's definately a stretch, though I guess I could see him playing a part if he got a really slow pace, ala Commendable.

No thanks. Never beyond 8f and he should get the front...but will have Bluegrass Cat, Bob and John, and Deputy Glitters breathing down his neck the whole way. If he can hold those three off the whole way kudos to him, but he's going to have to beat me

Horse loves Belmont and his numbers are just as good as Sunrivers. Peaking at the right time. Bob and John snd Sunriver are the only two I think that could beat him. He will be the best value in the race so HF is likely my play.

I like him... I just don't think he'll get a mile and a half.

He is the pace setter and nothing more...should get well clear early, but Bluegrass Cat, Bob and John and Deputy Glitters will be in the second flight stalking him and those three classier colts will overhaul him when they want to...probably approaching the far turn....your winner is likely to come from whoever proves best of that group of three...

Spoken like a true West Point member? Are you a West Point partner Exceller? If so good luck in the race.

Bob and John should get the lead and hold it most of the way.
High Finance could steal the race late. I believe he has a legitimate shot at the win and I will have him in my Super box with Hemingway's Key..Sacred Light..Bluegrass Cat. At least for now,it's still early.
