How anyone could like a deep closer like D Money considering today's race dynamics is beyond me.

Kong's Revenge.....he was scratched AT THE GATE two weeks ago. No thanks.

I agree that if pace does not materialize, D Money is done for.

However, I didn't necessarily see Precise Alloy as lone speed in here. I would think #6 Doctor Freud will be contesting pace on cutback in dist. Also #7 He's a Lumberjack has showed speed in some previous 7F races and I think Belly Rub could get caught up as well. If that Happens, I think D money is legit at a price.

That was my rationale. If Precise alloy sets soft uncontested fractions, I agree D Money is not a winner.

I have no argument that D Money is one of the three best horses in the race at the very least. However, I do not see the pace you are suggesting materializing.

We shall see.

D Money didn't quite get his set up. Could have been worse, at least saver Ex bailed me out.
