I don't think NY has anything to do with Stay Thirsty winning a couple of races.

I think it's more of a matter of the quality of fields he faces.

No love for Game On Dude?? He adores 10 panels. Not saying he is necessarily the winner, but he will put away any horse that tries to run with him through the first mile.

Big difference between putting away Tres Borrachos and what he'll face at Churchill. I would also like him more if he ran better away from California this year.

If nothing else he'll provide the pace, which should unsure a fair race. But isn't he going to be facing much, much better horses than have beaten him already this year?

The more I think about this race, the more I think it has to completely collapse.

Game On Dude will be sent because they've decided he needs to be.

To Honor and Serve will be looking for the lead.

Shackleford will be up there.

Mo can sort of rate--maybe--but he'll be very close.

Tizway likes to lay close.

Like I said, I think Mo and Tizway are much the best, but I can't really play them here. Feels like you HAVE to bet Flat Out if the race stays intact.
