There is a longshot in there who I give a shot to. Presidential Cause got a terrible ride last time. The pace was absolutely crawling and he was about 10 lengths back. He should have been up close. He was flying at the end. I think he lost the whole race by less than a length. I think he would have won with a good ride. This will be a much tougher race but thta's why you'll get a huge price on him. PC was actually a horse who looked like he a lot of potential after his debut. Then he ran some really disappointing races. Now he's starting to come around again. He may be in a little tough but I think he'll be about 20-1 or higher so I'll probably take a chance on him.

I like him too. Don't know if he can win here but he was one of my original Derby hopefuls at the beginning of the year. :)

Looks like it was Aug 10, the 7th at Del Mar. (PP's are up and free at DRF)

Oh, one of my all time favorites was in this race. Popsicle Gal.

I just thought you should know. She has really GREAT form. :D

As an aside, Popsicle Gal won today at DM. :D
