I like Notional here a lot. I don't understand why Stormello is 3/1 while Notional is 4/1 but hey, ML odds often make little sense. Notional's big problem will be that he might be a bit directionless, considering his jock is busy "burning in hell."

Birdbird in the 9 hole. The 9 hole is 0-9 in races 1 1/8 mile or longer. The horse that is intriguing to me is Chelokee.

Time off.

And the fact that Stormello has already run a very game race over this course.

The betting public may still agree with you however.

By far the best pick of this bunch is Johannesburg Star. Every time I have seen that horse run I have thought:
"Wow, all he needs is to move up to G1 competition and stretch out to 9 furlongs and he will be unbeatable!!!"

Tough spot for Adore the Gold with Stormello directly outside of him, unless Stormello goes 23.1 and 46.1 again, which I'm not expecting. In that case, Adore the Gold might just get the perfect trip sitting a length or so off the speed. I'm expecting Chelokee to take alot of "wise guy" money, but I just don't think he's the real deal.

According to the trainer it was "exactly what they wanted." Yeah right.
I am sure his instructions to the rider were: "Okay I want you to pretend that this is the BC Sprint. Go try to win it!"

Couldn't agree more. . . I was hoping for 5-1 so I'm loving 6-1 . . .

Notional is a gift despite Albarado at 4-1 but have to assume he will be lower come post time. Imawildandcrazyguy at 15-1 could spice up your exotics with switch to hot Bejarano and strong possibility of lively pace

Do you really think the pace will be lively?

Stormello and ATG should help. But then again I respect your point because Gulfstream does play to speed especially on big days

I think him being in the superfecta would qualify as an upset.
