In all my time using BRIS, I've never seen a horse with a 138 LP figure.

The race also sets up for Honor Code. On paper, he is the most likely winner.

Per Marcus Hersch, FIVE IRON will run in the Hawthorne Derby rather than the Jamaica..

Someone should hook his connections up with a DRF account so they could have seen how much they belonged in the Jamaica.

Well, I guess if Souper Speedy could be rated in the Kelso, then anything is possible.

I have a hard time with both the Frizette and Champange as I question whether or not the form is because of the wet surfaces

Looking forward to seeing what Debt Ceiling can do in the Champange.

Strong Mandate finally got exposed for beating those weak fields where almost none of the horses ever returned to win.

Honor Code ran well to get 2nd, just went too wide.

Not sure how good Havana is as we go around two turns but he was surely best in that race. Did all the dirty work and still won.

He didn't run well, but what was the point of dragging him back after breaking like a shot? Ridiculous ride...

Horrible ride, agree. Speed is his main weapon the 2 won the previous race pressing. He should have been up on the pace.
