Calzone, didn't you mention in a previous thread that the late runners from the Derby were horses to bet against next time out? The statment held to form as Went the Day Well did not go the day well in the Preakness. Are you not going against your own advice by picking Dullahan?

Jazil got a smoking pace.

If Dullahan gets that type of pace, I think his main competition is as likely to be a nag like Street Life as it is to be anyone of the big 3 horses.

With you there...it is just hard to figure out the pace because who knows which one of these pinheads will either go early for no reason or make an early move because he had no clue how big the track really is.

street life's numbers have been improving each race nag may not be an accurate adjective for this improving colt

A couple of months ago, the hype on Street Life, due to his last-to-first/on the wrong lead rallies, was at massive proportions. It's only just that he's now getting the "nag" backlash he deserves. He's failed miserably when stepped up in class, which was predictable, given the fact that he had to retreat to the inner track at Aqueduct to break his maiden.

He failed to catch the near 50-1 Right To Vote, stretching out from 6.5f, in the Peter Pan last out despite getting a breakneck :45+ and 1:09+ setup.

Mercifully, he has Mr. Prospector blood coursing through his veins, so he does have some shot.

Yes, I am.

However, deep closers also can overachieve in the Belmont if they get a 47 and change pace.

If they don't ... they have to be clear-cut the best horse in order to win.

Dullahan obviously needs 47 and change and he needs Union Rags to give I'll Have Another a little pressure after a mile.
