    Agreed. No more than a public workout and easy pick 4 single is Verranzano.

    Just finished running the HBD numbers on this race. Verrazano is a 30pt fav in my system. Thats nuts. Maybe Mike was right. I still may make a play for Honorable Dillon who may have a shot if the pace goes off crazy.

    But man, looking deep into the numbers it looks like Verrazano could run backwards and win this thing.

    On a side note in the race right before the Tampa Bay Derby, the #5 Forces of Darkness looks interesting here.

    I think that's a good race to watch.Might be one or two good ones in there but 1)I think Forces of Darkness gets bet pretty hard and 2)Its always tricky to estimate how well their form transfers 1st time US but in France she has a 10 race streak without regressing(either improving or running par to previous race).

    11-Stars To Shine at 10-1 would be much more interesting if Forces Of Darkness wasn't in here.

    Wow, Stars to Shine...that is one of the first ones I scratched from my list. I just don't see how StS has the power to come on late, which I think will be needed in the long 9f race.

    While Verrazano looks far superior I'm going for a price horse in 2nd and (who knows) possibly pull off the upset. That horse is #4 Java's War. Excellent record on the poly and turf as a 2yo including 3 two turn races. Had to break from the rail in Kentucky Jockey Club in a 13 horse field and ran mid pack while going 6 wide. Working, beautifully for this and, think he could get a piece at a decent mutuel

    I guess they pulled her up , must be something wrong with her.

    Its moot now but she had several good races at 1 1/8 on turf ,won at the distance on synth ,and her best figure was at 1 1/4 on turf.They were a bit slower than Forces Of Darkness/Kya One but a little better than Mystical Star/Old Tune who were the 2 faves which is why I thought there was value there. Kenneally is something like 40% 1st time he runs a horse on turf after trainer change also.

    Gracias,

    I read this, looked at him on my HBD sheets and he was rated as the strongest late push. Had him on a nice Show bet ( I chickened out of the place bet).
