Medici code may be able to run down daytona in this one.

Obviously on paper a very tough race.
The two Frankel entrants worked in tandem on Monday.
They appear to be as fit as they can be. Whether they can win this one though is another story. Frankel entrants in So Cal should not be ignored on turf footing.
I couldn't leave either # 3 Proudinsky or # 6 Storm Military off my ticket.

Couple of big races back 2 back for Daytona. Is it possible for him to throw a clunker today?
If so I'm thinking Lang Field could go to the lead and perhaps not look back.

Lang Field wins this today...... Court will control the race..... he can have the lead if he wants in 23.4 where Daytona wants the front in 24 plus...... if Court lets Daytona have the lead he will kick on by in the lane....... the Rodney Dangerfield in the field.

[northerndancer]

Tip my hat to the best horse in the race.....Daytona was by far the best in the race and Mike Smith absolutely schooled Court.

Same- I don't mind losing a bet when the entertainment is worth it... I seriously underestimated the winner :)
