Invasor......
 

I think puts Flower Alley to sleep today!

You and me both. my only concern is that the race is only 9 furlongs.
i think Invasor gets tougher as the distance gets longer.

I'm not sure that Invasor is even a word
Flower Alley & Sun King 1-2
folks, that's today's ICE COLD* EX.

siphon city and wanderin boy will take each other out in the front--wanderin boy would have a shot if he could take an easy lead, only way that will happen is if siphon city gets left at the break.

if i was going to bet, it would be a super. box flower alley, invasor, premium tap, wanderin boy.

flower alley and invasor both will be stalking the pace....who will get the run on whom at the top of the lane?
FA isn't fully cranked. invasor might have a leg up on him at this point in the year.

invasor on top, flower alley second...
premium tap would be my longshot bet.

No, Danzig188, you've got it all wrong.

I think Invasor takes it today, because he has a conditioning advantage and he is a talented horse, but this is the last loss of FA's career today, I don't think he loses again. The others will be staring at his tail at the finish line from now on and that includes "he is here".

Invasor and..... you know, I'm not even gonna say his name anymore. People think I'm crazy as it is.:D

(Good luck, We Can Seek... just follow Invasor and you'll be fine).

well that remains to be seen, doesn't it?

Boys and Girls. I think we could have a pace meltdown. Siphon City and Wandering Boy can win on the front end. Your stalkers, which are abundant (Flower Alley, Invasor, Survivalist pushes these two hard) could be jostling to stay in range giving us stressful use of energy in the middle stages. Which could set up for the likes of Sun KIng and West Virginia. (That could be a big exacta if the race falls apart)

I think this is a very interesting race. I cannot wait to watch how it unfolds.

To me the race is going to be determined if Flower Alley and Invasor run in tandem behind the leaders. I think this could really bother both horses. I feel that Invasor is more fit that Flower Alley and if both of them run in tandem behind the leaders it could spell trouble for both. If they do run in tandem I really like Survialist in this spot. Now if Flower Alley and Invasor do not run in tandem, then who gets first jump? Who gets first jump into solid fractions is the key. Could their be jockey error in knowing when to move??? CERTAINLY. But I look for either Invasor or Survivalist to win this race. My dark horse is West Virginia. I will be betting $80 to win on Invasor--$80 to win and place on Survivalist. Then I am going to key West Viginia with all and all in a trifecta.


Somewhat the same as I stated by Eurobounce. Interesting.

Flower Alley ... will not win this race.

Yeah ... I know ... pick a winner. But if I knew who the winner would be ... I certainly wouldn't tell anyone else.

Unless Invasor is the genuine goods ... and/or Siphon City has made a quantum improvement ... this is a very sad renewal of the Whitney ... a real bunch of stiffs for a major G1.

Are you now a racing secretary for NYRA??? BB?
Geesh.

Both you and Pgardn should post your picks in the contest section.

Talk is cheap.

As bad as this field is ...

... anyone who thinks Survivalist can win it ... is either loopy ... or ... he's spent too much time on that "other" forum.

That horse is really s - l - o - o -o - o - o - w.

It's not too late to save you dough, War. Do you still remember the old saying about doubting Bold Brooklynite?

Sun King from the clouds

i love invasor--wanted to get that out before they run...

And I love hime even more after the race!!!!!

For those that had Invasor...Congrats! He just hung on to beat Sun King.

Nice pick for those that had him...I didn't.

Love him too!:)

As game a race horse that I've seen in awhile. He just wasn't going to let Sun King go by.
