All the Chicago cognoscenti around here and none have a single opinion to offer on the 6 Illini-bred stakes? Huh..

Bob and Tom are too busy counting the money from their recent victories.

I'll handicap it tonight and put some opinions up...

If there is one day at AP that is consistantly my worst day of the year there... it's PSF day. I'll defer to someone else.
