Tough race for Cherokee Country. He's been off since December. He's only had three published works.

The ML for this race is a bit silly IMO... Riley Tucker should be more like 1-1 off of his last...
No way Desert Party goes off any higher then 5-2, and he will be the clear second choice.

From brisnet.com

Saturday's $200,000 Donald LeVine Memorial H. at Philadelphia Park, a race won last season by eventual champion male sprinter Kodiak Kowboy, has attracted a field of seven to go seven furlongs. CHEROKEE COUNTRY (Yonaguska), the third-place finisher behind Kodiak Kowboy a year ago, has made solid gains in the interim, winning the Fall Highweight H. (G3) and Valley Forge S. However, he will have to overcome a layoff dating to the December 8 Valley Forge over the Philly Park strip, where he's won seven times in 11 attempts. DESERT PARTY (Street Cry [Ire]) will fly the colors of Godolphin. Winner of the Sanford S. (G2) as a juvenile and a two-time Group 3 winner in Dubai, the four-year-old ran up the the track in two of his last three starts, the March 27 Godolphin Mile (UAE-G2) and the 2009 Kentucky Derby (G1). The potential favorite in the LeVine is RILEY TUCKER (Harlan's Holiday), who exits a career-best triumph in the Aristides S. (G3) at Churchill Downs for Kodiak Kowboy's trainer Steve Asmussen.

Just saw the replay of this race. Did Desert Party grow like 2 hands since last year's Derby? He looked like a massive plough horse in there.

I wonder if they are pointing for the Sprint, Mile, or Classic.

They tend to get ambitious... I would guess off of this comeback he would be a leading contender for the sprint right now, especially with all the question marks in the division.

I think it was a prep for the Dubai World Cup

Depends on what other monsters they plan on bringing to Saratoga. Is Regal Ransom still in training? Vineyard Haven?

That's a good point. And another good reason why they are a clusterfucl< of a organization.

You would think that Desert Party is certainly pointing towards the Forego as his summer goal. Godolphin is all about the Grade I's and 7fs will be more to his liking.

Vineyard Haven has posted seven workouts, with 6/19 being his most recent. Regal Ransom is going to the Suburban next week. Girolamo posted his 3rd workout this morning, so his debut is clearly the farthest off. Sara Louise has posted two workouts and her main goal pre-BC is the Ballerina.

With the Vanderbilt being a Grade I also that's a strong possibility for Desert Party as well.
