I’m with you on Sotogake.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Japanese take the exacta either with Mandarin Hero or even the trifecta with one of the other two if they run.  Wouldn’t that be something. You have to have Forte in there too though.

I actually have another horse I like that slipped my mind at the time of my post:

Two Phil’s - I was impressed with his Turfway prep. You always want see a horse run fast while stretching out. The surface doesn’t bother me, as I picked Animal Kingdom a while back.

Continuar is live, Bet, and is definitely going to be overlooked.  Can figure.

I expect 20/1 or even higher.  

Box the Japanese.  Continuar across the board.

Forte is a wonderful horse but I play against the Pletchers, especially the overbet ones.

If he beats me, he beats me.  

Love it!

Pletcher did beat me with Super Saver, though.  LOL  I know you had him and even tried to make me see the sense of it....but, nooooo.  

I still think Calvin won that Derby for Super Saver.  Killer ride.

Lol I just posted this in another thread:

2 Phil’s scares me with how he finished up in the Spiral (yes I’m old).  Can another winner come from Turfway?

He does have that ND-BR nick though so maybe third or fourth.

Hahaha yeah that was one of my many wins.  (I need a sarcasm font lol.)

Still looking at pp's for this race. Trying to whittle down 20 to around 6 or 7 and go from there.

Right now i like Kingsbarns / Hit Show and Disarm. On the fence with 4 others.

Honestly, until I really see the whole field who runs and track conditions, I just dont know. 

Yeah agree w/you on that note. Can just imagine injuries and defections which will insue before the gate opens!
