good rundown StS
this race lacks a star.
A.P. Arrow is the true 10 furlong horse in the bunch, and he has a little advantage in that respect. However he is hard to ever back for the win. Always making a late bid. He should run his same solid/average race. Maybe he is a key in all the levels of the tri?
Gotcha Gold is out beyond his distance AGAIN. If we say he is a classic distance runner enough times.... we will get a headache. He is hoping for some rain or a really jacked-up pimlico track = both scenarios giving him a chance to compete on talent alone.
If Sir Whimsey can regain his dirt form, he will compete here. This horse developed beyond all expectations. It was a goofy decision to abrubtly run him 9furlongs over at keeneland, but at least he didn't quit and stayed on for 3rd or 4th or whatever. Needs the race to come back to him a bit, but certainly could be Whimsey/Arrow.
Wanderin Boy is going to be tied in with the track condition. If it rains and the track is sloppy, you have to use. Otherwise toss from exacta.
I put 50 win on Temporary Saint in january, and disgusted myself by missing the Excelsior, but there is only so far a Bruce Levine move-up can take a solid allowance level animal. Loss of Lopez hurts, as does a little company on the pace. Still can compete for top 4 here.
