Whether they're that good or not isn't detracting from it looking like a well-matched group and interesting betting race. DRF "ROTD" (and contest event in Selections), and I'm having a hard time building a bet that makes sense to me.

Keying things around Basmati is the direction I am going, not sure he can win but looks fairly solid to run well.

Basmati and Mighty Monsoon have some fantastic late sectional times from their respective last races, and if Mighty Monsoon can show himself any closer to the pace than last time, over the 7F distance, he could shock this field.

Drill a very talented horse but seems to be a headcase, nice win in the Futurity. Looks like Baffert might have a General Challenge on his hands here with Drill

I hope Drill does his sire proud. Looks like Lawyer Ron got a 2nd book of mares bred before his untimely end, but I'm not clear on how many foals he ended up with. A G1 winning 2yo in his first crop. Not too shabby. It's always a bit sad to see horses by deceased young sires run. All the 'what might've been's. Havre de Grace is carrying the Saint Liam mantle superbly.
