Unless Dunkirk improves A LOT this is a two colt contest:

Only Toby the Coal Man can move late, but will be too far back

Tim Y · 03-27-2009, 11:02 AM

the problem with Quality Road is right here in the climbing % median. Is this one able to rate? That is a requirement that first Saturday in May and this is NOT a good sign. A precocious baby can get away with it right up to 9 furlongs but not further. See the balance of E/EP overtaking the L/EP?

Theregoejojo is going up too but not as dramatically

My wager (if any) will involve Theregoesjojo and Danger to Society in Win position (nod on Class to Danger over Stately); adding Quality Road and Stately Character somehow in an exacta combination. This presumes Quality will be offered at less than 5/2 with Jojo at 4-1 or greater. I don't care about Dunkirk.

Good luck to all!

4njbets is saying the 7 is scratched

Hopefully ( for me ) the 4 and the 2 will under 5/2 so I can pass the race These big races are not for me. See you at Philly and Delta

Bill, I think Richie needs to give you a pep talk... Spec is a wonderful tool for the preps.... Over the last 4 years it has caught the winner on Top an avg of 40% of the time and in the top 2 60% of the time... Some big numbers too such as Da Tara in the Belmont paying 79 bucks. Using standard paceline selection...
