13 signed up including SI, Bayern, Kobe\'s Back, Top Fortitude, Havana, etc. SI will be no lock in this one.

Does get in a full point light mind you, although stuck outside. Fun race.

Getting SI ready for the Triple Crown races, they do not work him past a half
mile.

Now going into a seven furlong race, they have a very fast 3/4 mile work.

This is not the \"Gang that Couldn\'t Shoot Straight.\" I doubt these guys could
even find the gun.

SI and Palice Malice both 7/5 ML favorites; I will toss both from my horizontals
and risk the consequences

I have no problem tossing SI. That race could have a serious pace meltdown if a few of them send. Tossing a Pletcher horse in NY on a big day however could be a huge mistake.

Yeah, I\'ve heard about that Pletcher guy. He\'s also got Capo Bastone (V. Espinoza)
in the Met; CB upset the Kings Bishop last summer at a $70 or so mutuel.

As to PM, he\'s top weight and got the worst of the draw in a 13 horse field.

SI a toss for sure. Especially at the odds that will even go lower than 7/5.

Bayern with blinkers from the rail will keep him honest among others. No thanks.

Top Fortitude ML @ 20/1. Lightly raced. So much speed and value in the race, Mike Smith aside, the stretch run should be mayhem. Don\'t see anyone, except maybe Havanna, wiring this group. Yikes!

Don\'t ignore the Philly Flyer...Favorite Tale
Got right back to his top in last, and any forward move gets his picture taken!

He will be in my exotics, but looking for underneath with him. I am liking favorite tale, tonito and kobe. One of those 3 will be my exacta and tri key. Good luck!
