I'm glad to see Hard Spun in the race. Is there a lot of speed or is he the only speed in the race?

First inclination:
Curlin/Hard Spun/AGS/Wild and Crazy - not sold on the order but that might be my top 4

Haven't crunched the numbers yet but I think AGS having not run in the Belmont and then running a real nice prep may be the most ready to fire.. I'm racking my brain to try and remember the last Belmont ITM horse to accomplish anything of note afterwards... But maybe that is just my diminishing braincells.

Bluegrass Cat won the Haskell after being second in the Belmont.

that sounds about right to me, but I like AGS on top.

I am kinda liking a Curlin/AGS box. Chalky? Yes, I admit it.

I see no one has mentioned Cable Boy. Overrated? Or just out of his league right now?

I don't like that work he had not too long ago, but not sure if that's normal for him? It looked like he ran his race during that work.

I like Hard Spun in the Haskell, although I've heard that Any Given Saturday is training lights out.

This is a nice field, a real nice field. Curlin should have his hands full and I look for him to finish 3rd or worse in this race.

The horse who breaks first wins.

I don't play Monmouth for that reason...but if I had to choose...Stormello.

You can make an argument for nearly all these horses. It's a toss up.

The breaks first wins hasn't transferred to much to routes. Cable Boy is very fast too. This SHOULD set up well for the class, but locals have made some impact in recent years, not winning but getting a piece. Stormello could have his way on the front if Hard Spun gets a ride like he got from Gomez!
