Nice all stakes P4... The 2 short fields are also interesting.

I think the Just A Game is normally a very deep field and one of my favorite races on the undercard....I would like to try and beat either fave in the Woody Stevens. Not sure I can

Only two. Won't three horses (D'Funnybone, Eightyfiveinafifty and Discreetly Mine) all be in the 2-1 range?

No DM will be much higher than that

How high can he go in a five-horse field, especially where Remand looks outclassed? He has very good races over the track, and with the Pletcher/Castellano connection, I'm expecting that he'll be bet.

They can't all be too low.

I hope this is a popular opinion.

I'm with you - I sort of like him.

I think people will focus on his drubbing at the hands of D'Funnybone in the Futurity over the same track and distance last fall as the main reason to keep from making him one of the favorites.

If that doesn't work, his most recent sprint, the Spectacular Bid at GP, should do the trick.

To me, this horse is the classic speed horse that can't handle a sprint pace, which means the only way he can win is to hang on in a route race with a favorable pace scenario. Not sure what he's doing here, he should be in the prep races leading up to the Haskell.

He didn't exactly have smooth sailing in the Spectacular Bid.

Looked pretty good to me.
