You're right. He should fit right in against California's Grade I horses.




He's going to walk.

yeah, with Student Council off the premises they're vulnerable to another mediocre midwesterner swooping in and taking the big prize.

Tiago is proven on the east. I believe a 3rd vs. Rags and Curlin should beat this mediocore west coast group.....

Tiago fires a 100 beyer consistently enough and that should be good enough to win this.

Oh yea, I don't care about trashing the quality of fields in SoCal, that's obvious.

Just don't call Michael mediocre. I'm going to get all emotional about it.

i was just downplaying the expectations. people were mortified when Student Council won at Delmar because he was a "midwestern allowance" type horse.

Isn't that really just code for "SoCal Graded Stakes Contender" anyway?

And Lewis Michael has at least been competitive in graded stakes dating back to last Spring.

I know you're just being contrarian, and while Tiago and Lava Man obviously pose challenges, I'm pretty positive about where I'm hanging my hat.

Tiago has the right style to win this race since Lava Man will scratch in favor of the turf race.

I'll be cheering for Lewis Michael in this one.
I have long considered myself a mediocre midwesterner.....and we have to stick together.

Citronnade and David Flores will go wire to wire. Smokin Joe Talamo will get burnt in this race.

In terms of a win bet, I wouldn't take anything lower than 5/1 on any of the horses in the race. There are just too many questions to play chalk here I think.
To me Lava Man - if he goes - remains the most likely winner, but I wouldn't bet on him.

Can someone please explain to me how Mauralakana is 10/1 in the Yellow Ribbon?

She looks like she should be 3/1 to me. That's a crazy price with three minutes to post.
