Northern Dancer Stakes

[Halo Fire]

Has anyone seen the lineup for this race?

1) Recapturetheglory
2) Pyro
3) Tiz Now Tiz Then
4) Undridled Vicar
5) My Pal Charlie
6) Visionare
7) Texas Wildcatter

WOW! Now, this is a horserace.

Jerry, I realize the Stephen Foster is a high-profile affair, but I\'d like to nominate this race as the \"race of the week\".

Texas Wildcatter has eaten a lot of my hard earned money in his past two.

My gut tells me X-X-X.

I think RTG wires them as he has had 6 weeks to recover from his monster effort in the Derby, and gets what has been a live rail at Churchill.  Missing the Preakness is the best thing that happened to this horse.  I am tossing Pyro.

1 w/ 5,6

I\'d be very careful with toss of Pyro. By no means am I a fan of his, but this horse is probably as fit as Asmussen can get him. Think about it, let\'s say Pyro doesn\'t finish in the money. Then what? Where do you go with him, grass? It\'s now or never for him.

The wildcard is Tiz Now Tiz Then. I don\'t know much about him, but he\'s trained by Eoin Harty, broke his maiden on the poly at Keeneland, and then won right back at Churchill. Tiznow was a late bloomer so he might fit the profile.

Understood.  But he hasn\'t run back to his two year old top in 4 tries and I am beginning to think he never will after his last two.  His pattern is awful.  Maybe cutting back to 8.5 Furlongs helps him but I think he will be a big underlay.  I will look at TNTT when the sheets become available. Thanks.
