That Lake Stat is interesting. Makes you wonder if the S Men are being a bit more cautious at Belmont? Too early to tell.

The Peter Pan is an interesting race. The TFigs should stand users in good stead. These are New York animals for the most part and though they are in "improve fast" mode, Tgraph is gonna have a good handle on them. Theres three out of circuit horses to consider though.

Gotta agree with Joe B. that Mr. Sword is something of an enigma. The inside was quicksand at Keeneland that day, but he stopped even worse than tougher footing would warrant. Had a fair amount of time off and per the DRF didn't breeze for darn near a month after the incident. (Note it was a heckuva good breeze though) What was going on? That two turn inner tube race sure makes it look like that despite his sprinty breeding he'll go a one turn 9 marks. He seems to like Mr. Arroyo too.

Robador makes a long trip off a good restricted class race. He beat a large field and is nicely bred.

Golden Man-Dutrow wanted this guy in the Preakness in the worst way.

Anyone notice how Chekhov is the only horse in the race not on Lasix. I don't know, if I'm an owner I want my horse running on drugs. Especially every legal one.

Sir Greeley is an interesting animal as well. What woke him up? Did they get him off the innertube or did they geld him? Note the call from the 2 hole with Hill as jockey "3 Wide", then note the lack of wide called from the 6 hole under Coa. If J.Jerkins could use Hill and get 5 pounds do you think he would?
