I wonder if any of the local riders will get the mount on the 2 or 4.So far only 1 local rider has a mount.

Yeah, but there is something about this race I like. I think it is a pretty nice field for a G3 event.
Personally I am going to be cheering for the 2, even though he probably has no chance. I love his pedigree (no Native Dancer!!) and that absolutely ridiculous name makes for a great combination.

Dr. Googles Boogles is also cross entered in the 7th at Saratoga tomorrow.

Is this Song of Navarone's first race back since his win in the WinStar Derby?

[Cajungator26]

This is actually a pretty decent field IMO... a few horses I really like are running.

Yes, according to someone on the Thorograph site, he injured his hoof in that race, while running a HUGE fig (fastest of any in the race, save Delightful Kiss).

Thanks for the info. I thought that Forty Grams would put that field away, but Song of Navarone ran a really nice race. Wonder how he's looked training...

Rex Stokes III is on Dr. Boogles Googles, he is a local jock. Carmouche is coming in from Monmouth to ride Norjac.

I'm betting Moyer's Pond.If memory serves me correct didn't Guidry win it last year.

Right there with ya.

[FGFan]

I think this will be a nice race. But for better or worse, I'm sticking with Delightful Kiss.
On an aside though I did use a few combintions, I like quite a few, but I've got to stick with the Kiss.

[hockey2315]

Well Song of Navarone scratched and D Kiss is 2-1. . . A potentially good betting race isn't anymore. . .

I think Bwana Bull can make some noise at a nice price here.
