2-4 are both decent horses... if he beats these easily, then he's a very serious horse

Mint Lane isn't even close to being in his league. . .

[Revidere]

Oh, Lt. Ron is running???????

[Strategic Mission]

This race won't be close. I just wonder if he runs in the Dwyer, Jim Dandy, or Haskell.

Icabad isn't very good. . . and I'll reserve judgment on Casino Drive - but I doubt he's "monstrous." Anything close to UH's debut and he wins geared down. Now, obviously, he could end up not being very good. . . but he has more potential than the rest of this field put together.

zitos horse is not bad either, the horse he beat in his last, came back to win nicely... mamboinseattle, i think

am i the only one who thinks the 2 and 4 are improving horses, with great connections and they both have a chance to win ?

[The Bid]

Spurrier can win, infact should

admirality, should get a great setup and with a forward move, he could be the one.

his second to casino was not bad.... it all depends on what you think of casino.. the number was strong enough

I think it's funny that most everyone has been talking about how weak this year's 3YOs have been and yet when an exciting one finally appears people are suggesting that the morass of mediocrities are somehow going to beat him.

I'm excited to see him run, but "Travers Winner Runs Friday" is probably going to elicit some negativity.

In general it's a little silly but right now he's not far from the early favorite.

i have looked over the race again, i would be shocked if mint lane beats him... the horse to watch is zitos, 2 horse race in my opinion

But hasn't it been fun re-living the ride, the quarter crack and the heat of last Saturday?

Hoping for something new to talk about...go Unbridled's Heart!
