I think I had too much going on to handicap the Met well. With what looked to be so many viable horses I dumped the second place finisher on a "creative eliminator". It was just a confusing race for me. I never got a strong feeling but I wanted to bet it because its the Met.

Class was probably right about the rail not being a factor.

I suspected Azeri might not handle the surface and pace scenario and I don't think she did. I still had her in bets...lol But I agree with Silver, Lukas should put her away before something bad happens to her or the Paulsons give her to Baffert and he makes Lukas look really bad.
