Just took a quick look at this race. Very interesting field.

Hasty Kris - Very hard knocking, old, second tier horse. Post may not be all bad. Seems to have been much closer to pace last than is his norm. How to interpret that?

Choctaw Nation - Vanquisher of Pleasantly Perfect. Sprinting (Is this his game?) Looks to be a confirmed one run type. Not the typical modus operandi for your typical juicer.

Sinister G. - Has never come close to his Lane's End and race just prior. Mullins wasn't able to move him last. Was there an ownership change? Is he a rabbit for Choctaw?

Mass Media - Frankel without the Shakes? Seems to be well spotted.

Perfect Moon - Distance looks to suit him. Is he good enough.

Harvard Avenue - This horse is always getting into trouble, going wide of going off form. I should have cashed him in the Santa Catalina.

Del Mar Show - 35 races and not one of them on dirt. Here he is. Guess Mott has had a bit of a falling out with the younger Paulson. Sometimes the acorn rolls quite a ways downhill from the Oak.

Oceanus - Well the distance appears to suit him. Is he getting better? He's getting in light. I don't know the South American horses that seem to be good seem to come from Argentina. But, if he can run it doesnt matter if he comes from Iceland.

Frankel's horse would seem to have a distinct edge here, but with whats going on does he? I'm gonna watch and try and learn from this one.
