It'll be interesting to see if Teofilo has gotten over his slight setback from 2 weeks ago. I dont think I can bet on a horse that short (2-1 ish) in a race like this with such a cloud hanging over him. Theres been big gambles on US Ranger (Tabor's horse) and Diamond Tycoon and both have looked very good in their performances this season. Im interested in Strategic Prince and Hateef (both 14-1) who both ran OK in the Dewhurst last year and could make into nice 3yos..
