WOW, Nice field. I think Tagg will scratch FC if most of the major players run. This spot looks a bit tough for him.

This is what passes for big? Hmmmmm ...

Somehow ... I really don't think it compares with past Woodwards ...

... like Seattle Slew, Exceller ...

... or Damascus, Dr. Fager, Buckpasser, and Handsome Boy ...

... or Sword Dancer, Round Table, and Hillsdale ...

... but ... we can still sit back and try to enjoy it ... for what it is.

The General Douglas MacArthur ... Belmont ... September 8 ... 8f ... $100,000 ... NY-bred ...

... that's the perfect spot!

Big as in they did not bring in some show horse from some Claimer race to run or even a turf horse to make it a 5 horse race like some Stakes races have been this year

I think you're right (about Funny Cide) if it's 80 and sunny on the race day. If it's kinda cool, maybe a lil overcast or even rainy, he's gonna run, and could run big. But with that said Sun King should take care of Flower Alley and the rest of this field. I guess there's always a chance his "Jekyl and Hyde" ass could lose, but it's doubtful.

Nice little field right here. A travers Winner, a Derby and Preakness winner and a horse who lost to Invasor by a nose. A very nice field.

But only one of those things happened this year.

Maybe they should show some old videos ... instead of actually running the race.

Andromeda's Hero, Suava, and Wanderin Boy are all graded winners this year, aren't they?

Man, do people love to kill the handicap division around here.

Toga this weekend should be cool enough for Funny Cide. I think we'll see him in the Woodward unless something happens betwixt now and then.
