Ok guys, I'll admit I know nothing about this race, other than I love to watch and bet it every year, so help me out here!

Right now, as I understand it, there are 20 or 21 horses running and only 14 betting interests, so I'm betting the 7-8 horse field. And a 4 horse tri-box with the best jockeys, Dettori, Fallon, Smullen, and Kinane.

Opinions please?

Sorry, that's Soumillen, not Smullen...I can't spell in English let alone French!

Dammit...Soumillon (I think?)

McSchell,
They don't pay off in Francs; I love those greenbacks. It starts at 0700 here. BTW, don't believe Bubbles re: Funny Cide's win today...it was one of the most incredible and inspirational performances I've ever seen. Take a look at the replay if you get the chance.
