Very interesting. Wasn't Morning Line running also?

[OTM Al]

I'll lay Battle Plan. I believe he was retired back in June?

[Phantombridgejumpe]

Battle Plan is still listed on a couple sites, but if that is correct I'll adjust.

I considered putting Morning Line in the field, but seemed a bit optimistic of a placement.

I also considered Rip Van Winkle, Super Saver, Ice Box and Mine That Bird as possibilities.

I think Zito said Fly Down is also Classic bound.
All the Zenyatta money is going to flood the pools, making everybody else juicy overlays.

Probably not everyone else. Sure to be some over bet dogs in there, but hopefully the right ones will be.

[MNslappy]

any chance that any of these run? Dakota Phone, Awesome Gem, Crowded House, Musket Man, Arson Squad, Ice Box, Giant Oak

Has anyone heard any updates on Espoir City? I'd like to see this one run at Churchill Downs.

Will run next Sunday in the Mile Championship at Morioka, a race he won last year. That is his last prep before he ships to Churchill Downs.
Biggest question mark about him is he has never gone 10f.

Here are a couple of his races.

Febuary Stakes 8f.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZrPfizLnJY
March Stakes 9f.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDoVMv_hVC4
Japan Cup Dirt 9f.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY4zDP_T4oQ

He's a speed horse, so something to factor into the pace scenario at Churchill.

[Phantombridgejumpe]

I'll replace Battle Plan with

Fly Down/Morning Line - I'll assume only one of them run for now.

Whales are salivating at the thought of betting against Z if she's the favorite. The general public will be all over Z. Will the Whale money against her balance out the square money ON her? Last year she was 5-2 which means tons of 'sharps' bet against her. I'm sure those same people will be betting against her again. Public might make her 2-1, so your ML is a good guesstimate. LAL won't be 9-2, he's going to be lower than that i think, especially getting 5 lbs from the older runners and 2 lbs from Z.

If this is the field for this year's classic Zenyatta will be 3/5.

Richard's Kid?

Would appear that Crown of Thorns is headed to the dirt mile, but the classic is still a possiblity.

A European runner owned by Prince Abdullah.

He has been beaten by Goldikava and Rip Van Winkle , but seems to like
to go long.. I wpuld be surprised to see him on dirt , you never know though.
