Hope you don't mind if I chime in..
I don't like Clermont a whole lot, just because he's yet to run a race fast enough to win this, though he's been close, and I don't see a reason to think he's ready for a breakthrough. With that being said, if there's a race tomorrow to take a flier in, it's the eighth. Just about every one of the top figure horses has a knock and Clermont did run a decent polytrack race two back. He's a C in my multi-race tickets. In the ninth, it's hard for me to get past Allie's Event. I know it was just one race, but his turf start was so much better than anything these horses appear capable of. Osterville has good turf breeding (Alke is 3-for-13 w/turf horses and 2-for-10 with turf debuters), but IMO he's also bred to be a sprinter with the Concorde's Tune influence, and he collapsed in his only two-turn start. Also, while it's tough to predict pace scenario with a bunch of first-time turfers, there appears to be a good amount of speed signed on. This Is My Game worries me a bit, since his turf race was decent and he's been working quickly and steadily since for Proctor, but Allie's Event is a single for me. GL declan.

I shouldnt have limited it to the TB guys. You and Tom are SHARP players as well, and its always good to have fresh eyes and different takes on a race to mull over. I always look forward to your input. GL to you as well.
and I laughed a good bit over your Yahoo pool for next year. Good stuff.
