The Jim Dandy on the other hand, what? What criteria as a prep for the meet's more important 3yo race doesn't it meet? It has multiple -- 5 in fact -- graded stakes winners and 3 possibly progressive 2nd season soph hopefuls. With a $1,000,000 G1 at MTH Sunday and a $750k Derby in West VA next week, this race is terrific..

Alpha: WON G3 Withers; 2nd G1 Wood
Fast Falcon: 2nd G2 Dwyer
Atigun: 3rd G1 Belmont S.
Neck 'n Neck: WON G3 Matt Winn
My Adonis: MGSP
Teeth of the Dog: WON G2 Dwyer; 2nd G1 Wood
Liaison: WON G1 HOL Futurity; MGSP
Prospective: 3X GSW (Grey; Tampa Bay Derby; Ohio Derby)

Well noted points. I don't see anything wrong with the Dandy. I feel the Curlin on Friday has a few horses with more upside then anything in here.

I can make a case for every horse in the Diana, and most in the Dandy. Really wanted to see Gemologist

liason i fear needs a mile
love alpha on paper but neck n neck may be overlooked at the windows
and his last two were monster wide with authority that style may suit him well at the spa
ill take neck n neck to win by well more than a neck over alpha and adonis
