LOLZ.

Unless we magically time warp back to 2008 halfway down the backstretch, she'll be lucky to finish 4th. Wide trip is not exactly an excuse in the Modesty....considering it produced the easiest winner of the Preview races.
Her, along with Presious Passion, won't see a single one of my tickets.

Thank you for the contribution to the pools.

All I knew as of yesterday, since I won't be back out til way early tomorrow morning (you going to be there, btw?) was Driving Snow, and my understanding was that Miller said he may not run Cliffy either now.

Default Secretariat?
why no Battle of Hastings or Straight Story? BoH wins the first 2 legs of the grand slam of turf and skips the third, doesn't make sense to me. unless he's hurt?

conservatively 3-1 7-2, but hopefully more. She is strong and there are many scenarios that fit her. Lets say Tizqueena goes out to a clear lead, your gal can outmove Points of Grace and hold off the closers. She is probably even good enough to just attack the leader slightly prematurely and end the race early. If Points of Grace and Dominguez manage to break on top, Tizqueena may be forced up on the pace and again it sets up nicely.

I don't see Ramon putting Points of Grace right on the lead, but maybe the connections will instruct him to do so because she ran so big last time.

Mulllins felt he needed a break.

Eienstein ran huge on the soft turf at Churchill.

You want to explain that ? He always saves ground, and always finds the rail. Even when he has no horse he gives you the best chance to win. Example, Thursdays 4th, he is riding the 10 he has no horse at all, but watch where he places this horse.

Look at his ride in the Diana, because of his trip it was that close.

How about taking a gander at his ride on Gio Ponti's last race.

I see nothing to think Gio Ponti doesn't win this.
