Default Star Power....

Truly a loaded card @ Belmont for Super Saturday 2,quality is word one.
I think there are at least 2 Breeders Cup winners coming out of this card.
I have a pretty good idea that the Pletcher Filly in the Frizette might be one of them,Nonna Mella really looks to be the goods.....I can see her in the winners circle today and @ Santa Anita on BC Saturday,she is a wildly talented Filly.
The high powered quality of the Belmont Turf Sprint and the Champagne must be respected.
In the Turf Sprint the term hard knocking comes to mind.......I think at lest 3 horses come out of this race into the BC Turf Sprint.
Anybody that can pick the winner of the Turf Sprint today deserves a Gold Star....
The Champagne has some real talent lined up:
Practical Joke for Chad looks like he's just warming up @ 7/8ths......he'll be really tough when the races get long.
I wonder if Thirst for Victory is sneaky,he looked to be all the horse in the soup @ Saratoga for Pletcher......maybe.
I'm not as high on the NY Bred Pletcher as most......pass.
Favorable Outcome sure looks the part.....scary opener,must be good.
Big Gray Rocket has giant ability for Baffert......the line maker missed the number on this one.
Lady Eli could be better in a month,but she still is good enough to win the paceless Flower Bowl........The pace play of the day might fall into the lap of Senterio Italia,she should inherit a class crawl up front......pace makes the race.
Judging by the Phoenix yesterday, the Forego might be a live race.....Tamarkuz came out of that race looking good at the wire,he might be decent today.
Of course the other bad morning line of the day falls to KM's other horse Ocean Knight......12-1 ain't happening,he has a solid look in this race at a much shorter price.
Paceless race of the day alert: The Hill Prince.
Find the horses on or near the lead at the half,and they'll probably be there at the wire.
I'll guess Beach Patrol on the front end,with Inspector Lynley and perhaps a clever Mike Smith sending American Patriot into the early action in this one.
