You've likely not been to Des Moines.. You'd be very surprised. It's a pretty sophisticated town.. A small version of Kansas City basically.
Were you being sarcastic? Being a small version of Kansas City does not make you a sophisticated town. Kansas City is about as sophisticated as a 3-legged goat.

Rathor sure didn't flatter Mayan King in the Suburban, buit this is an easier group and I'm still going to go with Mayan King at 10-1 or better...he is the value here....Rathor didn't enjoy a good trip either....what the hell was he doing towards the rear in a race with a slow pace...weird....he certainly wasn't ready for a top effort today if he was that disinterested early on in the race.....I went with Dutrow and he just grinded along...Invasor was the best, hands down...

You can't know Kansas City that well to say that Mira.. I lived in Kansas City for 2 years.. Worked on and off in Chicago since 1983.. I'll give you Chicago over KC downtown, etc.. But beyond the "city", I'll take KC (The Plaza, et al) and its' 'livableness' over "Chicagoland" any time... And Des Moines is a spotlessly clean, friendly, wealthy small city...

Have placed a small win and place bet.....
How do you get your info?
Are you privy to Gary Contessa and his stable as far as info?
Or, are you just handicapping the race like everyone else?

Best of Luck,

I know Contessa very slightly ... not in any remote way a friend or confidant.

He told me Mayan King was a good one at Saratoga when he was a 2YO ... the horse, not Gary. He could have sold Mayan King as a 3YO for $1.2 million ... but he advised Mr. Partridge to hold onto him ... just before he got injured.

His comeback has been quite exciting ... and his last race showed he really has the class Gary said he did. There are all kinds of factors going against him ... so if he wins tonight it will really show something special.

I haven't made a serious bet on a horse since 1967 ... and my streak continues.
