Star Dabbler is also on the stretch-out. Interesting.

Lewis Michael wins

Never discount anything that Joe Bravo rides. EVER!

I'm looking forward to my first visit to Hoosier Park. I'm going to start looking at the race now, but Bright One drew very well. Anyone have some insight on what to expect in Anderson, Indiana?

Bright One by at least 3 lengths.

I know this belongs to Bright One but i really like Simon Pure and so will remain dillusional..... :D

I love Bright One... hope he puts this one on his resume as well. :cool:

I kinda hope Bright One loses just so I don't have to hear anyone again make the ridiculous assertation that he could beat Bernardini. I'm of the camp that thinks Invasor could beat Bernardini but give me a break with Bright One.

Dr Pleasure gets some weight here.
