WBH is worth a look at that price.
Bribon looks like hes getting prepped for the big race next month.

Not sure how the ML maker made Formidable the ML Fav.

I don't think anyone that picks Wicked B. Nowhere in the race should be commenting on someone else's opinion.

Formidable will be no worse than second choice ( behind Bribon ).

Wishful Tomcat coming back on three days rest from Sunday? Dutrow sure does love that move.

I scratched him from my Form yesterday and didn't even think about that possibility.

I like Bribon and was also a bit surprised that Formidable was the morning line favorite. However, it certainly doesn't seem like a race that was easy to assess for ML purposes.

Bribon is a single for me if I play the P4. The question is whether I waste my time looking at the turf sprints or will the rain take them off the turf.

There's no rain expected. Maybe a few brief showers in the morning.

We'll be on the turf.

Everyone on the internet is rain obsessed.

even with the scratch of cave's ... there SHOULD be enough of a challenge at the point to soften the speed... if any speed does hold ... it'll be spin master... as far as the others

#1 ekati.... adds blinks... class edge... great record at belmont and the distance... better than showed in the Carter with the bad break... but is inconsistant and tough to figure out...

#3 WBH expensive and untested 6 YO... post helps and Tagg wins 1 out of 5 graded stakes...

#5 Discreet Treasure... flew by WBH at the wire in last for him...CV knows the horse and he and Hough are usually ITM... but this is a stern test...

#6 Per Incanto... pressing the pace... may even be on the point... and gotta respect Kiaran 2nd off as well

#7 bribon good at distance and always itm at Belmont... and gets garcia back should get first pounce...

#9 formidable.. don't understand m/l favorite... is probably the fastest... and gets 1st lasix... but this is no patsy of a field... and the post is not a help with 2 or 3 inside and one outside gunning for position...

#10 Mor Chances... no chances has a win at the distance on turf last year..
so CAN get the distance ... used speed to win last 2 at 6f.. but from post and all speed inside .. not best plan here... can close ... but others look like better prospects to win it... expect brutal trip...


1st.... Discreet Treasure
2nd Bribon
3rd spin master
4th tale of ekati...

playing tribox 1-4-5-7

good luck
