I completely agree and in fact I think this race could be ripe for a bomb coming through. Honest to Betsy is going to get money because of the fourth place finish last time, but that race was a total mirage given that More Happy was totally spent in the last furlong. Honest to Betsy is 7/2 on the morning line and those odds are intolerable.

Wonderful Luck looks kind of "one-paced" and perhaps the only thing going for her is that she's returning to the synthetic surface. Those two on top of Dreaming of Liz at a short price make shopping for longshots seem to be a good idea.

I think she's going to be the favorite.

3rd choice, maybe she ties for 2nd choice, but i doubt she is favored, if so, she is one of the falsiest favorites of the year.

I agree. I would be really shocked if she goes off as the favorite given Wonderful Luck's record on synthetic.

I picked West Coast Swing, also, so forget anywhere near the 10-1 ml odds

i read in DRF that west coast swing will scratch if the race stays on turf, which it certainly will.
