Battallion Runner is a moral lock. Think Zito can run 2nd at a decent price. Practical Joke will be on his way to the Kings Bishop after this, nothing wrong with that though.

Wonder what True Timber does.

I actually like Practical Joke in this spot.

Is the Belmont Oaks more or less the replacement for the American Oaks? I am trying to remember the Belmont Oaks history and I just cant recall this race.

It's the Garden City moved from Fall to Summer. The Belmont Derby was the Jamaica.

Im using 3 in the American Oaks. Coasted who will be a big price after not really breaking last time. I know she has a big race in her. Key to my Heart. I love the breeding and respect the connections to much. And Sistercharlie, who is the obvious horse to beat. Her 2nd place finish in her last race is massive.

This isn't the American Oaks. The American Oaks is still in California, run at the beginning of the Santa Anita meet in December.

I realize Shaman Ghost is the horse to beat by alot. But he looks to be about 2-5. I know it was a slow pace last time and he didn't have the best trip and overcame it all. He is rock solid, but at 2-5 isn't he worth trying to beat. Matt King Coal was very good early on in his career and appears to be really moving forward. I could see a Seymourdini like performance out of him on Saturday. Especially with his obvious tactical advantage.

I always thought Matt for the better of the two anyways. She is a fantastic trainer

Although I'm a BIG fan of Mind Your Biscuits, I wonder how he'll react from the Dubai trip....... I think Ticonderoga will just LOVE the distance & at 15-1 is a HUGE way to finish off the pick 5 sequence!

I think Unified is tough in this spot and trip which may be right outside a slow pace.

Seems like everyone is down on Battalion Runner. I obviously disagree. Do think Zito is 2nd most likely though.
