Hopefully I regain some sanity.

In a race like this for youngsters I sometimes like to look at how hard the horse is to ride & did any jockey figure out how to coax the horse along. I think Alex Solis has done just that with Top This And That, but so has Garret Gomez with Stratagem. I'll go with Top This And That. Yes this is his turf debut, but Old Topper(sire) and Theatrical(broodmare sire) get many winners this way. His running style is good I think. He could be alone in the clear in 4th or 5th between the flights into the 1st turn and up the backside. From there it's all about whether he's good enough.

Top This And That to win.

Thanks. You can't drop out now. You've been with us every day chrisg. I need you around otherwise I'm just posting to myself & what fun is that? Remember this is a marathon, not a sprint.

Taking that into consideration, I'm in a perfect stalking position. 9th place as I post this. I'm gonna give a patient ride, and when it comes time to go, I'll drive and go for the whip. Let's just hope I have the horse.

Nice How Cliche...good angle with the young ones. I know of one succesful person who takes jockey strengths into account and it looks like you've done it with the youngsters. Keep it going.....I'm one of the 0-fer bloaks in the contest
