Dakota Phone can easily beat Rail Trip.

There are two other speeds in the race. Who says that Rail Link is really that good? Who knows if he can rate? Who knows if he really wants to go this far....especially under less than ideal circumstances.

If there are no scratches, and the race is run like it looks on paper, the paper tiger is very vulnerable. I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong plenty of times again, but this seems like a decent race to bet against a very short priced favorite. His resume is extremely dressed up.....especially going longer.

I have been waiting to take a shot against this horse who has been handled with kid gloves like no other talented horse I have seen, who has had perfect trip after perfect trip, but I will say I was hoping for a better field then this to do it.
