Seems more like they don't want to test the N3X waters again. He's got his holes, but like I said, I can't make a case for anyone other than the McLaughlin and Frankel entries. Rio Mistico has been a total bust on the grass over here, Hotstufanthensome (who I've always had an affection for) appears to be going the wrong way, but I guess he's not impossible. I think Extra Zip sucks and has beaten nothing, Winstrella's a money burner coming off a long layoff trying turf for the first time against some decent grass horses, and Prince Rahy is a freaking nibbler. If you can get a 26/2-5-9 horse into the winner's circle, more power to you, but I think at least one of the four between McLaughlin and Frankel will prove better than him.

I looked up the definition of "hanger" in the dictionary and there was Prince Rahy's PP's.

Eh, I think one of the Frankels will be better.

I don't disagree, but like Ateam said, trying to get a 26-2-5-9 6yo with little upside into the winner's circle at likely 3-1 is a losing proposition. If you use him, I would underweight him relative to your other selections.

Been waiting on the 2 to return, I think he'll be very tough in here.

I couldn't use Todds horse here. 10 month lay-off, first time turf. His works on the turf look impressive but the Saratoga turf has recorded blazing works so far this spring/early summer.

I like Sir Lowry here alot. Leo is running on Friday. I think he was the better of the two Mclaughlin entries. But Quip does scare me with the Blinks on for the first time. Remember Daaher? Even so, I didn't include him in my pic 6.

I just think Quip is better off on the dirt. I suppose it's possible he can get loose on the lead though, if those end up being Garcia's tactics.
