Default 2/2 (GP): Gr. I Donn; Gr. II Swale

To say that this is a weak field is to grossly understate, but tough to expect more from the sad older male division. If Daaher can work it around two turns, he should dust this group, but with Fairbanks and Kiss the Kid entered, no easy lead for Scuzzy Luzzi.

9th (5:13) Donn H. (G1)

1 1/8 Miles | Open | 4 Year Olds And Up Stakes | Purse: $500,000

1 Wood Be Willing Lezcano J 115 L
2 Spring At Last Coa E M 119 L
3 Dr Googles Boogles Desormeaux K J 115 L
4 Daaher Luzzi M J 120 L
5 A. P. Arrow Dominguez R 119 L
6 Fairbanks Velazquez J R 116 L
7 Kiss the Kid Castro E 115 L
8 Brass Hat Martinez W 118 L
9 Einstein (BRZ) Prado E S 119 L



6th (3:40) Swale S. (G2)

6 1/2 Furlongs | Open | 3 Year Olds Stakes | Purse: $150,000

1 Mr. Foz 116 L
2 Eaton's Gift Desormeaux K J 116 L
3 Surrealdeal Cruz M R 116 L
4 St. Joe Coa E M 116 L

Interested in Fairbanks. I think the horse still has something left and this is the right track for his running style.

I think this might be the year that AP Arrow really steps up and distinguishes himself from AP Xcellent.

It will be VERY tough for anyone in that race to beat Daaher. . .

I wouldn't totally overlook Spring At Last. Depends on his odds, but he could be a useful alternative to Daaher.

With no true stand outs, it should be interesting race w/value hopefully.
But, i'll have to stick by Brass hat.

Hasn't Brass Hat beat Fairbanks everytime they ran against one another?

No. Fairbanks ran 4th in the Whitney, and Brass Hat ran 8th.
I don't think either of them will win here.

Me either, but since I thought I walked into the "throw something against the wall and see if it sticks" thread I figured I would put it out there...

I thought this was the thread where opinions are decimated by Andy and his band of trusty parrots?

Wrong. That would be every Derby Trail thread ever in history.
