Not to mention the undercard will be stacked. Proviso's running in the Just a Game and that generally draws a strong field. Gio Ponti is coming back in the Manhattan and may be quite vulnerable in his first back from Dubai. The Acorn should have a respectable field given how wide open the 3YO filly ranks seem right now and the Woody Stephens will be solid.

If there are no defections from the horses heading that way now, I think it will be a great race to bet. Though as Zito said, "See you in NY" holding a strong pair with Ice Box and Fly Down.

his mom was a good one on the weeds going a marathon distance

Zito doesn't do turf.

Lukas didn't quite get what he wanted out of Northern Giant in the Preakness. Better give him another shot in the Belmont.

Dublin is an automatic as well.

By the way - I'm LOVING all this Zito hype. Both of his horses can win, but First Dude will have a huge tactical edge on them.

Probably, what he needs is a new trainer, one who can work with his going on two years gate issues, Lukas has become clueless.

Good point but it would be a shame if he just kept him on dirt

I don't think a jock change will make a difference. I never did jump on his bandwagon, and have not been impressed by him at all. He might be on my tickets, but it will be at the bottom of them.

He's a nice horse, but the wedding/funeral thing will probably keep me off of him.

Anyone got a guess on Fly Down's odds?

Are we looking at full fields on the undercard stakes?
