I like Sunriver. Would love to find a bomb, but I think the logicals are the ones that will decide this.

I think I'm going to take a chance and play Oh So Awesome in a tri box along with Steppenwolfer, Bluegrass Cat and perhaps Bob and John.

I actually am going to use Sacred Light, as well as Steppenwolfer. I am not sure what to do with the others yet. I am definitely not using Platinum Couple and Bob and John.

It's tough for me to use Sacred Light after reading this...


Sacred Light worked six furlongs in 1:16.42 over the Belmont main track on Tuesday. The gray or roan Holy Bull colt received some unexpected company from two horses from another barn who passed him coming out of the far turn.

"I'm glad it happened," Hofmans said. "He got a lot of dirt in his face, and he ran through it. The best part of the work is that he was finishing, and he galloped strong. I didn't care about the time—I wanted him to get around that turn, and I wanted him finishing. It was about the way he works. He looks like he needed the work. He was blowing pretty good."


I'm not sure I like the fact that he was blowing pretty good.

Yeah...that is not good. It sounds like he won't be ready. He's probably a toss.

I'm considering him a 'toss' for the win (not place and show) just because he's NEVER crossed the line first in any of his races!! I just can't see him doing it in the Belmont!
