Was looking at maybe as high as 4/1...now DTS becomes the obvious favorite at probably around 1/2 or 3/5...and on paper looks like he cant lose, but you know how these things turn out.
Really? I think he'll still lose to Munnings. Although you think he's way, way, way better than I do.

I guess I am in the minority with DTS. I didnt know anybody who liked him on top prior to the scratch of FS. We'll see how this plays out. I wont bet a 1/4 of what I was going to on this race, but may screw around in late doubles, picks...

Like anybody in the last?

Not really. Fair Catch is a terrible play as the favorite and Interrogatory has question marks. I might try to get cute with Arcaro or Ancient Sunlight.

I agree. I didnt like Frankel's horse either, but the scratch hurts the prices on the others now. I kind of like Winloc, but not getting the would have been 5/1.

I'll be shocked if Munnings isn't the favorite.

He is in the doubles. I am surprised. You are right.

Munnings ran up to all the hype. Wow, hes good. Really good.
That was very impressive. Had Fabulous Strike been in there, he may have won by more.

It's hard to lose with that set-up, but he probably is pretty good. I thought he was going to open up more at the end, but maybe he was geared down. I wasn't paying attention, so not sure.

I think Munnings might be a terrific bet against at Saratoga. That same trip is unlikely to be made available three races in a row and he's going to be everyone's darling after beating older horses and earning what should be a pretty large Beyer.

I'm as big a Tom Durkin fan as anyone but I cringed in midstretch when he said "a dazzling display of sprinting ability."

You knew JV was bound to find the rail once in a few thousand rides.

It seemed to me like he was expecting Munnings to pour it on, but when he didn't Durkin just went with it anyways.

He's definitely in Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr form.
