I don't know.....the '73 Belmont was a 5 horse race, and I have always thought that it was fairly interesting.

These are arguably the two best turf milers in america going a little more than one mile and throw in Noble Causeway.

Is Noble Causeway any good? I never thought so - he's a nice allowance horse. Ashkal Way? Artie Schiller should have him for lunch

I think this is his turf debut, and he has a ton of talent. He is a Giants Causeway so he might love it. I could be wrong though, but I have never seen him on the turf.

Aragorn is the best in my opinion. Miesque's Approval is obviously there with his win over Artie, but I still like Artie better. I think Ashkal Way beats Artie in this one.

Ashkal is a good horse (his debut was a perfect setup-fast past and half the field winging out on the front end setting it up for him), but I feel like Artie bounces back here. Im hoping Frankel turns Cacique back to a miler b/c i think the Breeders Cup at Churchill will be right up his alley.
