Anybody worried about High Finance? He looks to me like lone speed which can be deadly in a race like this. Also, if you look at his company lines and pull out Bernardini and Showing Up, he all of a sudden looks a lot better on the form. I agree that on the figs he is slower than the main contenders, but he has never bounced so there is not telling where his 'bottom' is so to speak. If he continues to improve and does get a rail trip both turns on an easy lead, I think he will be tough to catch. I note that his grandpa (Conquistador Cielo) did pretty nicely in this race moving from a one turn mile at Belmont into the Run for the Carnations. Of course, the fact that he has never been two turns before creates questions, but I also think that it aids him in taking command early. All the other horses have been running in two turn races which tends to dull early speed since you have to get ready for a turn right away. Finally, a note on karma -- this race use to be OWNED by Woody Stephens. Today, they re-christen the Riva Ridge as the Woody. Today, a grandson of Conquistador Cielo, Woody's first in his famous 5 peat, is the only vestige reminder of the Woodman in today's race. Finally, High Finance is a Woody type of horse -- he reminds me of some of Woody's Belmont horses. If Woody were with us now and was handicapping this race, who do you think he would pick? Anyway, that's my two cents from Moscow. Almost forgot, if the track is dry, Deputy Glitters DOES look tough.
