That Lane's End looks like a pretty nice turf race.

i agree,the "poly" horses don't get my money until one at least hits the board in the derby. monba, dominican and the rest just didn't perform after the transfer. colonel john ran just ok. i love how people still don't get it. the figs, the current form and the performances just don't transfer. its like apples to oranges. look at i want revenge this year, they were calling him slow, until he hit the dirt runnning. the races in keenland are ridiculous because the "real " contenders are basically using it for training purposes (street sense) where they usually get beat by inferior "poly" horses. handicapping now is even harder because theres 3 surfaces, synthetic, dirt , turf. not a fan of the new surface, horses are getting hurt and many trainers say its worse not better. horses have run on dirt and grass for longer than they've been tamed. some men have enough ego to try to improve on mother nature, ain't happening.

You mean you don't remember Hard Spun winning this race? I certainly collected money for him running second in the Derby.

Jack Spratt could hit the board here. I have no idea what his Ml (i think the ml is up somewhere already?)
His FOY is going to add value with that ugly running line, but 9 lengths off a 45(from the gate @ GP Mile!) is a nice workout, and he was still 9 lengths off at the stretch. Only one work since but at least it is recent and solid. Came home the last 4 furlongs in less than 48 in the Dania.

Hold me back is kind of an unknown horse that you can't really toss with confidence.

West Side and Bittel have to be the top choices.

West Side Bernie should be 2:5.
