Would love to see Delightful Kiss win this but he will have to deal with Sixties Icon, and I think he can.

this is the most unplayable race of the card. it would be very easy to handicap if it were on turf. but it's not. half the field has never ran on synethics or dirt. the two horses I like have never ran on dirt or synethics and don't have an ounce of dirt in their pedigree. i'll pass

that's one of the two i like right there bill. in fact if I had to make a play that's it. shoot if he's over 10 to 1 i might. tha twould be worth the risk.

but his pedigree is as green as a presidental candiate trying to pitch himself to tree huggers.
