Default I thought this was intriguing...

The fact that they are even considering the Classic says a lot about the horse IMO.

Awesome Gem is being considered for the Classic. What does that say about him? No horse with four legs should be thrown out of consideration on the junk track. Godolphin should consider Music Note for the Classic too.

There was a drf plus article about a month back comparing Awesome Gem to Volponi... Talking about how he could actually win the thing.

Anyway, as for Girolamo..... Godolphin never seems to rush there horses and off of 3 fairly easy races the fact that they are talking Classic tells me this horse is really good and has room for improvment still.

He could. Perfect running style to pull what many would consider a shocker, but I wouldnt. I'd actually bet Aweome Gem to win if he goes.

Girolamo would be a better play and I doubt he would be under 10-1.

I doubt very much Girolamo goes. 10/1, maybe. Depends on who else goes. I'm thinking more like 6/1-7/1 though, which is still really good if you like.
Awesome Gem will be no lower than 30/1 if he goes.

I just got some inside info from a Dter.... Hockey2315 told me Music Note might go in the Classic, and she cant get beat if he does. He said she will improve off her 107 Beyer last out and win it for fun. He says she will LOVE the distance.
