Excellent. Huge field. I bet Showing Up goes off at 4-1 or better. Amazing they can't get better for $1m.

Until it's graded...they wont.

Watch out for Rock Lobster. He may be a tad slower on figures but the horse knows how to win.

Who the hell cares if its graded or not besides the owner and breeder? 4/1 still pays $10 whether its a grade 1 or a 10K claimer

Degenerate gamblers should not care one way or the other

Graded wins increase stud prices. That is why the top guys don't go to ungraded races. Still $600,000 is a nice check.

Interesting field. I like the filly/mare race as well.

Take a flier on Stream Cat with the bug boy...

The race is going to be shown on ESPN News at around 5:30pm, I should be on my 12th beer by then and probably will log on to my Brisbet account and do something foolish. Maybe, I will have my wife hide my laptop....

Take a flier?...I love Stream Cat in this spot....

..Showing Up is the best horse but turf and the rail draw are big questions, so why take the underlayed odds?

..Also, Michael Lewis obviously has a lot of quality and can definately factor from just off the pace...

..Roman Dynasty is VERY intriguing for Pletcher as a Theatrical trying the grass for the first time...I think this horse overtakes Kip Deville and proved to be the best speed but I love Stream Cat's closing turn of foot on grass...think the black colt proves best late..I don't care for Rock Lobster or Go Between....the Atticus Marty Wolfson colt is interesting to me too, but I just don't think he is as good as Stream Cat...Outperformance beat a very solid Hill Prince but I don't like the 2-week turn-around....Chin High is a one-hit wonder and Yate's Black Cat is okay but maybe too slow IMO...the rest don't fit in the race..

Early Selections:

(1) Stream Cat
(2) Lewis Michael
(3) Roman Dynasty
