If Sir Cherokee had made the Derby I think he would have been my bet. If that Arkansas Derby was legit and I don't see how it couldn't be, this horse had monster potential. If the race was at Oaklawn I think he'd be my choice today.

Seattle Fitz is just an improving horse. What can you say? I've liked him ever since the Clark when he was the only horse to hang around after being near the front. He certainly can win this race.

I've always liked Funny Cide and he could do it. I've just had this feeling though that ever since the Belmont works he won't relax training or in races. If you try and pace him in the race it ties him up. I think he wants to go, go, go. Thats too bad because if he'd allow himself to be tractable I think he'd be an awesome horse. But I don't see evidence of that for this race. Maybe he'll go to the front and wire them today. I'll have a small bet with him and Saint Liam hooked up. Just for old times sakes.

I'm also gonna box in a very small way the two highest odds horses at post time. Just to make a betting statement about this race...lol Its looking like it will be Spanish Empire and Comic Truth. I've undoubtedly bet horses with much less of a chance.
