Here's my column for the newspaper if anyone is interested.
http://www.goerie.com/article/201206...ng-immortality Should be an exciting race to watch. I picked Dullahan to win mainly on the basis of value and because I think he's going to get enough early pace and I expect far turn pressure for all of his chief rivals -- as I'll Have Another, Paynter, and a less passively ridden Union Rags all have similar running styles.

Any undercard thoughts?

Race #2: The solid 1 is a first-time starter out of a Dehere mare. Race #4: I'll Have Another is not even the most expensive 3-year-old son of Flower Alley from the OBS April sale on this card! The #6 horse Ruthless Alley -- trained by Rodrigo Ubillo -- sold for $42,000 at OBS April. Race #9: Hardened Wildcat (12/1 on the ML) is dangerous and should get a piece. Race #10: I like Desert Blanc quite a bit. That aside, I can't remember seeing anything like the win odds on Omayad's form. He won all of his first six races by clear margins ... and went 7-for-7 to start his career without ever being sent off at odds of even money or less. That's freaking rare. Race #11: I think Unstoppable U bit his tongue last time. He won despite appearing to be bleeding from the mouth... I don't think I've ever seen a horse debut on March 31st of their 3yo season and race in the Belmont. Race #13: Unless Vol Jack says Sneaky Kitten is the best thing since sliced bread, play against her this time.

Good Stuff Doug.
I was just a kid in 1979 so I don't remember, but the trials of Ronnie Franklin seem very interesting. I couldn't find any, but does anyone know if there were any books written about Franklin's ordeals? I'm guessing the chapters about that TC campaign would be a pretty good read.

I'm interested to see how Pacific Ocean runs. He could be a force in the sprint division this year.
