I love the match up in the Diana, we really find out how good Proviso is in this spot.

I love Fly Down; hate the post, but I don't think it will kill him.

Miner's Reserve is a talented colt in his own right; I would have preferred to see him run in the 3 year old stakes run the day after the Jim Dandy, especially if it turns out Zito is using him as a rabbit for Fly Down.

I like Fly Down a lot and I think he will move late but not win this race, he would then be dangerous on the stretch out in the Travers likely at over 10-1. The biggest questions in this race for me are, Was Winslow Homer ever that good, and how good is Afleet Express? Winslow Homers last was brutal, but the horse who won that race might be at the top of this class. He should have at least ran second though. Afleet Express IMO might be that good, but he has to prove it in here. A few things I am pretty sure of Friend or Foe wont run well in here, and the 2 horses coming out of the Delware race the 5,6 are not that good, I want them to prove that last number is legit in here, I am not sold at all on either of them. I would actually be shocked if 5,6,8 even hit the board.

His grandfather was pretty good. Im actually looking at him now, what is he doing here? Gomez picks the mount up, he might be ok.

i like fly down here too. somehow the program has him at 3-1...i can only hope....lol. i would not sell winslow short, if he goes. the trainer usually does not show up without a shot and i kind of discount losses at those kind of tracks. winlows races have all been bang up besides the last one and hes run good here before. besides that i'm kind of suspect of all these others until they can beat fly down. a little warm looks like a horse that might stop today....the ones out of the pegasus might be nothing...friend or foe has to prove himself here, aikenite was no match for winslow last time they met and the foriegn horse is an unknown. i'm going to try a 9/7 exacta . fly down/ winslow homer.

Even your hero picked Fly Down, I dont think IM the only one who tossed a POS Del Park race, in favor of a Belmont runner up and Afleet Express.

He is money.

Those were first, second and fourth, with another horse that he said had to prove it, running third.

He is legend. Super paid $2006.

Nick was originially quoted as saying that Miner's Reserve was pointing for the Curlin, now he shows up here. When he went in the FLA Derby it was at the insistence of his then jockey KD and Bob LaPenta. Nick felt he wasn't ready and wheeling back off a big effort with short rest he was right.

Is there any sense that there is a similar situation here, where Bob has insisted that MR go in this spot (he was pretty soundly beaten by A Little Warm in his last)? Of course, Fly Down is Richard Pell's horse.

MR has since been entered in the Curlin stakes - that's where I hope he goes. I like him a lot, but he's not a graded horse at this point - and I'd love to see him get a stakes win.

Are you sure you don't own Zenyatta?
