FYI


A dozen will go postward in the Memorial Day feature at Belmont Park, Monday's $600,000 Metropolitan H. (G1), following trainer Kiaran McLaughlin's announcement Sunday that MR. FANTASY (E Dubai) developed a temperature over the weekend and would be withdrawn.

#8 mr. sidney-looks like lots of speed here-i think it should set up nicely for this horse.

 

[kidslick]

This race might be bombs away.

great race fwiw


I played $1 daily double x 2



all/ 2,5,8


($72)


10th race win only #6 #8

 

[oldmanTED]

Race appears loaded with speed and find it difficult to believe the front runners will last in this one. Closers look like the play of the day. Think that Pletcher's horse fits that mold and loved his effort at Churchill on a sloppy, speed favoring track on Derby Day. Should be flying down the lane.

#6 The Roundhouse (Across The Board)

Good luck everyone!
