Most recent DRF article says 11, adding Prayer For Relief and Fiddler's Afleet to the list.

Also, a few days ago, a NY track report expected Redding Colliery to ship out for the Big Cap in hopes of doing enough to earn an invite to Dubai.

Well if he goes to Dubai I hope he does better than he did a couple of years ago cause he was really disappointing.

Not to sound like Alan or anything but this potential Big Cap field is, ummm... uninspiring.

That's OK. It is what it is. Nothing about the San Pasqual, San Antonio, or Strub suggested it would be otherwise. At least we aren't getting the ridiculous Twirling Candy-Spectacular Bid comparisons like last year.

If they all run I would give Ron the Greek a long look with that much speed signed on. I have always liked Redding Colliery and would hope he could run well

Redding Colliery has absolutely no chance based on his last race.

Doesn't Ron the Greek have an "on-the-pace" running style now? He's not a deep closer like he was as a 3-year old.
