The top three finishers return to Fonner Park. Sleepy Eyes Todd, Blue Harbor, and Mr. Tickle are expected to face each other again this year. On paper, even money ML favorite looks like a repeat winner at projected odds of 1/9. Mo Mesa, from the Michael Maker barn should get some attention also.
This race is not as easy as it appears. Sleepy Eyes Todd will not be alone on the front this year. The
Shades of Victory and the
Most Amusing both will give him company. I do question weather the
is quick enough to be there, but with the
, there is little doubt. Add to that, the track has been less than kind to speed this year, taking 1/9 becomes impossible. It is not a stretch to get a off the pace runner winning, and the
Downtowner, along with
Blue Harbor and
Mr. Tickle are all in with a chance.
Road trip time, GL to anyone wagering.
