This race will feature the real competition so I see Medina as a probable money burner in this spot. He will have to run faster than he ever has to see the lead here. Not impossible but I can’t bet on that. Knicks Go has one blemish this year . Off the return from Saudi….. gets a pass for that. Watching the Whitney, he’s setting serious fractions and still pulling away late. The horse �� to beat now and if the track is like it usually is on these days. Whatever price he is may be an over lay. Especially if people think he shouldn’t be the favorite. This horse is capable of stringing out the field and running them off their legs. That’s what he does when he’s right. I sort of have doubts about any of the 3 yo group keeping up with this horse until I see it actually happen.

As amazing as the Whitney was. I was more blown away by the gallop out. Some nice horses gave everything had trying to catch KNICKS GO. If anyone figured to be staggering after the race it was him. Watch him around the clubhouse turn compared to the others. Had to be 20-30 lengths in front and THEY were the ones gasping.
I think he'll probably win. I KNOW one million% sure he'll be the favorite.
Guaranteed!
