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!

GL to you this year, Raesfan. 

I'm still just trying to find my WIN candidates, not my exotics horses yet.   I can fill those in later, after defections, post position draws, and also knowing the weather.   Like for exotics, I can't bring myself to leave out Kingsbarn yet, due to Uncle Mo.   

Then, if track is wet/sealed or sloppy, that would change a lot of things for me.   There are many in here who would benefit on slop like Reincarnate, Confidence Game, Two Phils, etc.   But leaving that aside for now:

So for my WIN candidates right now, (today) I like any of the Japanese horses, esp. Mandarin Hero.   Also Hit Show, Jaces Road, Lord Miles, Skinner.   I am not tossing Confidence Game yet.  I've learned not to "get off" a horse I like even under worst case scenarios.  I am still turning Blazing over in my mind for a longshot.  


Horses who may be in my exotics down the line, but I don't think can WIN (on dry track) are Practical Move, Tapit Trice, Angel of Empire, Two Phils, Rocket Can, Mage, Verifying, Sun Thunder, Raise Cain, and Cyclone Mischief if he gets in.  If I had to place a wager to day I am not even sure I would put Forte in the win spot, either.  But I like him a LOT. 

Take all this with a grain of salt, as I have a lot of "uncovering" to do.
