I looked very closely at this cat. He certainly faced better, so in a way this is a drop. That said, he is very one-paced. He has one little explosive move and that's it, then he just runs on and on. If they had a 2 mile grass race, I might consider him, but I was left wanting to be impressed (b/c this is such a weak field and I love Mott), but I just wasn't. There's no way I'd take him at any less than 12-1, and I think he'll be [i]much[/i][b][/b] lower than that. Belgravia always struck me as a one-turn type who might like Belmont more, but I know he has some class, so he wouldn't surprise me, though the price does not entice.
[b]Soaring By[/b] seems like a complete stand-out to me;I think he is going to blow through his best number today, and we may even see him in the Derby -- he strikes me as a rapidly improving sort. And you know Pletcher is [i]Pletcher[/i][b][/b] again. Anything over 3-1 is practically theft.
As far as the others, Trust Your Luck is a nice sort, but I'm not sure he's fast enough. Joe Got Even was only Ok in that Turfway Stakes, and Forty Grams didn't impress me at Sunland. Good Luck!
