He is the pace setter and nothing more...should get well clear early, but Bluegrass Cat, Bob and John and Deputy Glitters will be in the second flight stalking him and those three classier colts will overhaul him when they want to...probably approaching the far turn....your winner is likely to come from whoever proves best of that group of three...

Impossible to throw Sunriver out. He is the likely winner but will be overbet.

That is a BOLD statement considering his stablemate - Bluegrass Cat - has ALWAYS been a faster horse and everybody knows it...I guarantee Johnny V had his choice of mount and you can see who he chose...I'm not discounting SUNRIVER all-in-all because he is improving, but I think 5-2 is far more atrractive on Bluegrass Cat, who has been faster since day one, than 7-2 on Sunriver - only a point higher in the odds...just my opinion bro..

Actually most people over the last two months thought Sunriver was the better of the two Pletcher colts. He has a win over the track and he needed his last race after his layoff. I still like High Finance.

Dont think he neede his last race as much as others believe..I watched him work at CD several times and know for a fact that Pletcher had him fne tuned for the Derby had there been another defection, so he was plenty fit heading into the Peter Pan....if you believe he has A LOT of room to imprive off of that race then I think you are looking at him the wrong way..

...the bottomline is that if Pletcher really wanted him in he should have had Keyed Entry come down with a "Cold", "fever" or "foot bruise" the day of entries and put in Sunriver in stead...I believe he could've been sitting on a decent race in the Derby, but he would not have finished better than Bluegrass Cat IMO...Bluegrass Cat has been the BEST Pletcher 3-year-old going long from day one...don't confuse that.

Good luck with High Finance..his price will certainly be good...I just think you'll get a thrill for a little over a half-mile before he is enhaled by Bob and John/Bluegrass Cat/Deputy Glitters...we'll see!
