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.

Hasn't he already won two or three races at this distance?

I thought you were being being serious in a sarcastic sort of way. Like yeah, Rail Trip might lose to Dakota Phone, but who really cares!?

I recall a time a couple years ago (or was it 3? it all runs together at my age) when Ball Four was a formidable animal on the Poly here in the Blue Grass. Would go out on the lead and just keep on going. Beat Perfect Drift and Good Reward in the Ky Cup Classic at a nice price. Has he lost a few steps with age?
