Holy cow. Terrific edition of the Gallant Bob... As good a lineup as you could want. A bit surprised a couple here didn't opt for the Vosburgh. Anyone that chose this over the Vos certainly didn't get any class relief.
A bunch of toughies here that I've particularly liked all year... Lantana Mob.. Devereaux.. Golden Spikes.. And hot up n' comers too... Rollers.. Desert Key.. Fujita.. Hell.. even the local Midlantic set is intriguing.. MJ's Enchanteur.. Cobra Strike.. Courting Wisdom..

Those that didn't Vos nominate expected Midnight Lute, Abraaj, Benny the Bull, etc. to be there, and of course that's not the way things have turned out.

I don't get it. What makes this field so good? It's a race of three year olds.
More specifically, three year olds of this year.

I would have to strongly, but respectivley, disagree that there is no class relief from the Vosburgh. I dont see any fab strikes in there.
Very nice group to ship to Philly, no doubt. Just 1 of the 50 races I want to bet this weekend.

Cobra Strike, a horse that I've been following for a while now, seems to be up against it in here. I'm sure there were MUCH easier spots to try him in than this.

It was a good race in that it was entertaining. How " good " a group it is remains to be seen. Desert Key may be OK. Kodiak Kowboy may get a great trip tomorrow in NY. However, as a group, they have a long way to go before they are considered more than an ordinary group of supposed top class performers.

Desert Key's tenacious enough in a speed duel to save a placing against his fellow 3yos. What do you think will happen against older, world-class frontrunning speed? It might not be too pretty. Wait til next year.
