They can both be wildly inconsistent.

Absolutely, but either of them could win this thing too. Heck, I wouldn't even count Fast Falcon out of it.

I dont like Macho at all. I think he is finished. Greeks best race can win, especially if this thing falls apart late and it could if the 2 chalks have 2 hook up.
Falcon is dangerous. Zito is always dangerous in these spots. But now the 2 chalks will run 1-2 around the track.

I'm a huge Cross Traffic fan, but he may be too fast early to beat this quality of field going two turns.

Hard not to be a fan of him. He just keeps throwing bang up races. Fort Learned figures to be all over him right from the start. Should be fun.

A good rule of thumb for Fort Larned: bet him if he's not favored, but go against him when he is favored. Money burner last 3 times he's been favored, including twice at odds on. But when he's overlooked, he's dangerous. Seen that he's 7-5 on the morning line, it looks like time to go against him.

I think Cross Traffic can go off the post time favorite.

Cross Traffic can definitely win the race, but I'd be surprised if he went off at lower odds than Fort Larned. Although he's been very impressive, he hasn't run beyond a mile while FL not only won last year's Whitney, he won last year's BC Classic and is coming off a 116 Beyer.

Steve, any reason why Fast Bullet is not in the Vanderbilt? I see that he is working every week at Del Mar. Would have been quite a race with him included...

Amazingly, he has worked 6 times since his last start and still is not ready.
