I might be crazy, but I think Runaway Jim has a shot in this race and will be a huge overlay. I will have to take a flyer to win on him.

my longshot is mine over matter..though i think the 1 is going to roll.. the 3 is bs to me..everytime he faces good horses he gets crushed..im not buying the work tab at all.. 1/5/9..

Ampersand was the only horse to close any ground in the stretch and was completely up against it from a pace standpoint. My main concern is he looks like he has a little hang in him, as he had every chance to pass the winner in his last two and couldn't do it either time. Gimme Credit is clearly not the horse he once was, but it's not like his recent races are awful. Toss the turf sprint since that's clearly not his game and he fits with these. The way Chad Brown is going, I wouldn't question any move he makes. For me it's the 3 as an A and the 1 and 4 as B's.

he does cut back to a mile witch hes never won at..i think he loses by not closing fast enough.

I like him too. 3rd off the layoff, dropping back vs Ny breds,great tightner in last, won at the Spa last August and will be right up on the pace in a race that doesn't look to have a lot of pace.
Going vs Ampersand to run his 4th good race in a row.
Have to respect Gimme Credit as Chad has had the horse before and gotten him to the winner circle. Steady string of works since claim have him pointed to this spot with a $69,000 purse.
Also should include So Scott as he never runs a bad race and has had only 2 chances on the turf.
1,6,9 for me in a race that gets more diffiicult each time I look at it.

To me it seems like the first and last legs are by far the most challenging. How much credence do you all put into the odds board, before the 5th, when constructing your tickets?

Board is going to be very important to see how alive any of the firsters are.Pletcher is going to get bet but am wary of the light worktab. Leaning to the Goldberg but am concerned that the Bris form shows he is only 6% out of 53 2nd career starters.

I'm intrigued by Zazz....Homebred...I believe Tapit has had several baby winners lately...could be wrong.....I also like Matz win % and ROI with 2yo. No question that the Pletcher runner opens up at 6/5.

If she would relax on the lead she could steal but have a feeling the #10 will be right at her flank and willing to take a shot the #10 takes to the turf at juicy odds.

[golfer]

I think Gimme Credit is a must use in the 6th. Although the old guy may have lost a step, and may need more time to get going, I thought he ran quite well in his last, and I think with the time off, he will be ready to run his best today.

I also think Stay Composed is very dangerous in the 7th as lone speed and cutting back just a bit to 5.5.
