Isn't it also a tad ironic that an also ran from a race that was maligned in this very thread came back to win a G2 in impressive fashion?

Look on the bright side, there's a chance Blind Luck will be in the Hollywood Gold Cup.

If Flat Out, who has a lot of layoff lines in his PPs, can reproduce that race, we might actually have some fun later on this year.

I don't really like Blind Luck in the Gold Cup. She hasn't been dominant in her division, so why go there? Now that she's at least found her winning form, the rivalry with Havre De Grace is more interesting.

That really wasn't the race I would have liked to see out of Morning Line. As has been mentioned, he's missed a few races and has put in only 3 works since April.

Considering the older horses, and if Morning Line takes a step forward off this race, I'd have no problem playing him in the Whitney if similar horses show up.
