[oldmanTED]

The expected pace of this mile and a quarter race should be modest at best. Most of these are stepping up significantly in class in attempting to win this Grade I event. Only A.P. Arrow has raced near or at this level regularly and showed willingness to compete. He is the deserving high weight at 118 and morning line favorite. He has been rested since finishing fourth behind Curlin in the Dubai World Cup (Grade I) in March. Pletcher has brought him up to this rest patiently and even though horses that travel to Dubai take awhile to return to form, he seems significantly the best in this weak field. Expecting the price to be below the morning line of 5/2. Perhaps along the lines of 8/5. Still he should put these away in the stretch. Hence,

A.P. Arrow (Win Only)

Feel free to add your own selections to this thread. Best of luck.

I like Harlington and Frost Giant as a nice long shot play
