Not a bad bunch of babies for a wed afternoon in december.
More talent in that N1X than the DD jackpot.

Interesting race for sure with the two AP Indy's right next to each other, but it's actually on Thurs 12/11.

Doesn't it seem kinda early and maybe against what trainers have done recently to be running in a race like this?

Could be as many as 5 races between now and Derby for horses like Indygo Mountain and Friesan Fire....

Thanks Mike!
Yikes the barns are getting loaded, thursday afternoon n1x allowance and this is what it draws.
I may have to go in the predicted rain just to see this in person instead of on TV.
Need to get the pp's the 10th looks interesting too.

I saw Indygo Mountain win his last race here at CD and he was very impressive.

I'm going to side with Map of the World in this one. He lost all hope @ the break in his last and the collision in the stretch didnt help matters. Thinking the added real estate can do him some good as well. Indygo Mountain certainly looks tough in here and will take beaucoup bucks. Hoping that he locks up with Doc's Friend on the front end early and they run each other off their feet. Would love to get 5-1 on MOTW, at which time I might unload. May play on top/beneath of a few more late runners.

I'm sure Doug O'Neill is just THRILLED he flew there yesterday afternoon to saddle Escalon...

This was a real disappointment as I doubt that field re-assembles as deep whenever the race comes back...

Map of the World, Doc's Friend and Big Push go in the Sugar Bowl Stakes on Saturday. 5 Stake races including the Woodchopper. Hopefully turf will hold only 20% predicted for the next few days.

That's a great betting race. Hopefully there will be a scratch or two to make it easier on me.
