Didn't Deputy Glitters win this race last year?
Whatever happened to him after that?

see MNR Memorial Day H. thread.

Not a horrible field considering the inexplicable decision to move it to the first weekend in June when they had a nice spot in mid-July last year. Happened to be in Cleveland for the weekend and saw a nice race between Glitters, High Cotton, and Flashy Bull.

Without the PP's, Moyer's Pond ran awfully well to be 2nd at LS last out...

Yeah, that doesn't make much sense to me either.

maybe declans moon will be entered

Horrible decision to move this race the week before the Belmont.

Sedgefield is an obvious contender and should be short odds.

That is pretty weird. I haven't thought about this horse in 10 months, then I ask about him in this thread only to discover that there is a thread about him right now on page one!
How strange and uninteresting.

I am leaning towards Sedgefield and Moyer's Pond in this one. Will wait for pp's to make concrete decision. Moyer's Pond looks to be on the improve, loved his rail surge(I think) in his last.

Now we're talkin'.


Let's get ready for the Run For The Thistleys.

Unlike most other sports in Cleveland, we know there will be at least one winner.

OK, here is my tri box:

Reporting for Duty/Cowtown Cat/Forty Grams

As much as I hate to agree with Mortikins, I think Forty Grams is an improving horse but I don't know if I would use him to win though. He has 3rditis.

My gut pick in this race is Delightful Kiss. I don't know why and can't explain it because on paper he sucks, but my gut is telling me to use him, but I am not in my tri.

OH, and if Forty Grams wins, it would make Tizzy look even better in my eyes.

Delightful Kiss is a nice gelding. (One of the best looking horses I've seen in a long time.) With that said, I think Andy Serling said it best when he called him "the ultimate suck up horse."

Good idea. When did you say you were coming over to work on my truck again?
