hossgnat,

Very good points. Another move forward by Noble Causway may land him in the exacta. He should enjoy the extra distance and has improved in every start, but nothing that would knock him out here. I think I will put him in th two hole. His slow breezes at Churchill do not bother, as he's never been a real fast work horse.

Greater Good I do not like as much. Phone Trick is his grandpa,and the work after the last does concern. His racing style fits for making one run and picking-up some pieces, but would need a great ride weaving through the tired horses.

As for the first Afleet, Rose just needs to hold-on, same thing was said about last years winner. What can you say about the works? Fast horses work fast. I believe Bellamy is the real deal and doesnt need the lead to win, see the maiden win. I think he ends up in front because he's just faster than everyone else. I tossed the Keenland race. I think all would agree some horse just do not like that track and maybe the new jock didnt push the right buttons. I have little doubt he could sit behind Spanish Chestnut, inherit the lead and run everyone else into the ground. Watch his replays.
