Michael D,

Just worked out my flight details to richmond. (Daughter works for USAirways) so I get to fly free standby. Plenty of seats available, beats driving 5 hours.

Anyway,I've been leaning toward Stupendous Miss and agree with you 100% on this one. My Only concern on POT is the Gap between works and they are on the slow side. Briviesca is Royally Bred (Stu Miss beat her in Europe Last year) 9F might like the soft turf. Maybe over bet due to Bailey on top by this crowd, but will watch board for value. Otherwise I like Snowdrop next, and the others.


Im Betting Stupedous Miss to Win if over 4-1 and in exacta's with POT and Briviesca. Keying SM over POT,Briv,Snowdrop,Broad Hopes, then the rest you mention in Super

Also Keep in Mind it is supposed to be 92% with 82% Humidity there. So watch how the horses act before race to bet.

In the Va Derby, I Like Rebel Rebel Quite a bit with both Post and Class Edge(Time Form 117+ very stronG). The horse looks like it might appreciate the addeded distance. Only Question for me will be heat to me. I'm playing RR with Rushh Bay,and Ray de Cafe Exacta Boxes then Supers something like this 1-8-10 (W)1-8-10(W) 1-4-8-10(W) 1-2-4-7-8-10 should be $36 for $1. If Rebel Rebel is all heated up I drop him completely and move up the 7. I like the way Rush Bay has taken to the grass. I'm still looking at Prince Rahy last race may be a toss. One before was quite good. (No Rider listed so maybe scratched?).

I'll check this board early am before I catch flight.

Good Luck to you Mike, JB, Mall and the rest of ya'll.
