In a race full of good stakes-quality horses but no standout, I'll take the only proven G1 winner in the field. Mr. Sidney has been a turf runner for his career, but I'll trust Bill Mott is not just sending him out for a test drive on the dirt. Mr. Sidney dug in gamely in the Makers Mark Mile last out when it appeared the second place finisher was going right by at the 1/16th pole. Ignore the time, the turf course was a complete bog that day. The well-bred 3.9 million yearling purchase has Kent Desormeaux again, and two nice works over the course the past 2 weeks.

10-1 ML and likely my only play of the day.

Varying thoughts about this one today. From two horse race(Smooth Air and Bribon) to upsets from some up n comers. If an upset exists I think it will be Prado that brings it home. I wish anyone but Luzzi was on Fantasy and I might take the weight drop and give it a ride, but no can do with my nemesis. I see him and Accredit keeping company with Driven. The Roundhouse fills out my exotic combos. 6 wp-- 6 w 2,8,9,11 ex box--over in tris

Thought Driven By Success had a tough trip in the Toboggan and came back and ran well in the Carter. Not sure he'll survive the pace or distance but I think he's got wnough fight to last for mionr placing in this field. Bribon looks like the likely fave here but for a horse that runs in & out I'm willing to take a stand against him based on his price,(I'm expecting him to be at least 5/2 or lower).

The Roundhouse looks like one who'll definetly benefit from the pace here.Take the potentially bigger price of the two Pletcher entrants. Also another worth a stab at a price is Runforthedoe who could also benefit from the hot pace up front.

Kind of surprised Ready's Echo is the longer of the two Pletcher entries here.

Box: 3,6,12,13

Smooth Air for the win

in the end the two logical horses ran 1-2 but DBS ran a pretty good race and was just nosed out for 3rd.

Wow, I was wrong he held on for the 3rd. I thought for sure he gave it up.
