The much maligned 3yo male division...

Going 10f at Churchill with a decent pace, Zenyatta is almost a lock to finish 1-2-3.

Your Zenyatta, L@L, Quality Road trifecta isn't going to pay much in the Classic, but thanks for saving me the time on handicapping.

That triple is LOCK CITY.

Two of them are highly unlikely to make it.

Right now I'd say the five most likely winners of the BCC are, in no particular order:

QR, Z, LAL, SS and someone yet to be determined.

I've been pretty vocal about my dislike of SS as a good horse, but he does seem to like CD, and none of those other three have done anything of note at CD.

Oh, I almost forgot to apologize to CSC for mentioning the Z word here.

I don't see how Super Saver is a more likely winner of the Classic than Blame.

Yeah, I suppose Blame should be on the list. I just don't think he's as good as everyone else does.

I feel chalky adding Blame there too.

As for RHT, I mostly agree with you, but I think it's foolish to say he's not fond of CD.

IC, SS WILL NEVER WIN ANOTHER GRADED STAKES. Maybe me saying another race is crazy, because I am sure they can find an allowance or VERY SOFT OVERNIGHT, where he can win and then they will say he has his confidence back. I doubt hes a horse for course, as much as he is an opportunistic plodding POS horse. He beat no one in the 2yr old race, and like I said the day after the Derby show me where he ran? He tripped out, and got lucky vs a bad group. The other major contenders had issues/trips... Making him, once again, an opportunisitc plodding POS.

No way, not with Blame and SS out of it, maybe even Rachel and Rail Trip out.

...sunday silence is back from the dead??. forgot about rail trip, will be interesting to see him race on dirt.

[slotdirt]

I'd imagine Rail Trip will be about as interesting on dirt as, say, Go Between, for instance.

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Go Between's dam was a European turf horse and Point Given was actually a better sire with syn/turfers than dirt horses it seemed.

Rail Trip has a much more speed and precocious dirt pedigree - and his speed will be more of a weapon dirt than it was on synthetic. I think he'll run well. The chemicals in the Dutrow barn won't hurt either.

[slotdirt]

Well, yeah, there is that.

O god, I cant wait to see him vs QR he will finally be exposed once and for all.
