Oh yea, everyone is excited about this one too!

Much as i hope Vodka wins here I'm going with Ms. Daiwa Scarlet to beat her big, bad brother and the rest of the monsters.

Pop Rock..... I've never been a huge fan but gee he's hit the board how many times now in these big races? Guess it would be okay to see him (finally) get a great win.

Ms. Gallant is away but i'll be yelled at if i don't post her pick... Roc de Cambes.

Oooooh, I hope Sniper gets to see it!

Was thinking it could be a Daiwa / Daiwa exacta, with Scarlet winning.

I'll be at the Bills game. Any clue what time it is and what network it will be on? I'll set the DVR.

[NoChanceToDance]

Is Samson gonna run?

[my miss storm cat]

Sniper...

I'd assume it'll be on TVG but not sure. Waiting for the barrier draw to find out what time.

Interesting that Ando, who rides both Daiwas, chose Scarlet. I think Demuro is on your boy.

No Chance.....

Yeah, he's in with Take up.

[NoChanceToDance]

That's what I like to hear.........


GOOOOOOOOO Samson

[my miss storm cat]

The barrier draw!

[NoChanceToDance]

What about Samson.

Is he okay?

[my miss storm cat]

Hope you had the winner, AJ... too lazy to look.
