CTC - Pollard and Suave appear to be pace pressers to me. White Mountain has no choice but to send, lest he get parked. I do not have pace figures in front of me, but it appears that he has the speed (and stamina) to wire these. I find it odd that Johnny V stays in Lexington to ride a longshot mare in a 5 horse race, rather than stay with a possible Derby mount. That indicates to me a lack of confidence in the horse. The paired 2's would win IF the horse doesn't bounce. When Pollard ran a 4 last year it took a long time for him to recover. 4-1 would be a square price and a worthwhile saver. But I'm not interested in breaking even. My ROI on Chicago racing is ugly, but I'm due. If I don't fall asleep, maybe I'll go bet the race.
