Good point. Even for the future wagers, he got bet down from 12-1 to 9-1 in the last 5 minutes of pool 2. If he’s in the race, I’m thinking 5-1 is a possibility.

After watching Pavel relish the Churchill strip winning the Foster, I would NOT count him out against any bunch. He will be a nice price, too.

I could be way off but I rank it:

A: Accelerate
B: Catholic Boy, Yoshida, Thunder Snow
C: West Coast, Pavel

I’m not even considering McKinzie or Mind Your Biscuits. But I also routinely botch my handicapping of some of these big races. I’m a little disappointed Diversify is out since I think it could have helped some of the late runners.

Sharp Samurai knocked out with throat infection.. Shadwell's Mustashry (Stoute) in officially and with A Raving Beauty likely in the FMT, Almanaar (Brown and Shadwell as well) would get in too..

Bravazo officially to the Dirt Mile, so with City of Light expected there as well, Gunnevara will make the Classic. Seeking the Soul next in if Lone Sailor goes Dirt Mile..

Only knock on McKenzie is lack of racing. However it is Baffert and Smith on a lightly raced very fast horse and that is a valuable combination at 6-1 M/L.

Also Mac (107) and Buisquits (108) have the last highest Beyers.
