Assuming he was entered instead of Wanderin Boy it would be extremely interesting. If Zito entered both then he'd be a moron. I think the 8 horse field really works in Wanderin Boy's favor. It increases the chance of Curlin getting a rough trip and increases the likelihood that Wanderin Boy gets forgotten on the lead.

That's what I mean, Commentator instead of Wanderin Boy.

Thing is Commentator would be bet. Wanderin Boy might actually go off at a price. So as a fan I'd love to see Commentator in this field, as a bettor I'm liking Wanderin Boy here.

Yeah, I just don't know if he's good enough, but we'll see.

Screw Curlin, I'm excited to see my boy DFC!

Wouldn't be the first time I've lost money being convinced that Wanderin Boy can steal a race ('06 JCGC). At least this time it's only 9 furlongs. I'll back it up with Curlin/Wanderin Boy/whoever tris if the price is right on Wanderin Boy.

I think you guys might be confusing this year's Wanderin Boy with the horse from the last couple years.

His comeback race was in the slop and then his allowance earlier in the Saratoga meet was impressive. He was never that good to begin with and I don't see much to make me believe he is any different this year than he has been.
