Who do you like? Any opinions on these horses?
Tawny Port has a lot of potential. We haven't seen his best dirt races yet. His Kentucky Derby was fine. I can't really separate him from White Abarrio, but it's possible he's a lot better or slightly worse.
White Abarrio has proven to be a G2/G3 type. May have some tactical edge on Tawny Port, but I don't see it as significant.
Unfortunately, it's nothing go crazy betting on, as they are obvious.
Could be a
Tawny Port Win bet?? if he's higher and around 4/1. Not sure we'll see that. Ml actually made Tawny Port the ml fav '3/1'.
Classic Causeway has clearly been a notch below these, but some 'wildcard' apprehension that he may improve with the trainer change. New barn is not known as a big move-up angle, but trainer has had some runners in recent years. This horse has a possibility to set a moderate pace. However, the
Pineapple Man, and
Barese are uncoupled, with the
good enough to harass a moderate-slow pace.
I'm not sold on
Barese or
Ethereal Road. They are both nice horses, but seem a reach to win here. Not against them underneath.
Droppin G's is a long shot who can run 4th or maybe 3rd with the right trip. Aside from Tawny Port to win, another play is a $50c SU:
