The $750,000 Grade I Stephen Foster is this Saturday at Churchill. Here is how the field is shaping up. It looks like it's going to be an 8 or 9 horse field:
1. Buzzard's Bay
2. Brass Hat
3. Perfect Drift
4. Master Command
5. Wanderin Boy
6. Love of Money
7. Wild Desert
8. Wiggins

Brass Hat to win it for the local boys. PD to round out the exacta for sentimal overkill.

Also I thought Buzzy was not likely to go in? When is the decision made?

Brass Hat in a walk over!

If they dope him up again he'll be double tough. Plus even if they get caught again I will still get paid, LMAO!!!!

Too bad Funny Cide isnt running. We could pick 3rd for Perfect Drift and 2nd for Funny Cide, and then wheel the rest

Wiggins! Ha! I didn't know that they were running the Stephen Foster at Hawthorne this year!

I'll stick with my theory on show bets for this one, which is as follows:

"Never bet to show unless the horse you are betting on is named Perfect Drift."

BB is definitely running. They were going to run in the Californian but they changed their minds. He's leaving for Kentucky on the red-eye tonight.

I wish Funny Cide were entered!

If that comes off as anticipated, it'll be a very nice race..

Personally, I'm pulling for Buff Bradley, Martinez and 'Brass' after the screwing they took from Dubai.

Wild Desert is coming off a nice performance too, is he not?? And usually a great undercard on this day as well..

ya taking his money back was not good, and it should hurt in the future getting people to gp there, i would suspect.

I think Churchill should really think about moving the Stephen Foster to a later date in the year. They could really get the top older horses on the east coast if they moved this race to the last weekend of the meet.
