McCraken. Has to run down IWC. The hay and oats trainers run 1-2, which would be nice.

Preliminary rankings:

Classic Empire
Gormley
Irish War Cry
Gunnevera
Always Dreaming

I made a mistake in the Arkansas Derby (tournament play) by tossing Classic Empire and Malagacy from the top spots and going with 3rd choice Conquest Mo Money. That said, I'm prepared to toss CE again, and live with the consequences if he beats me one more time.

Good luck to everybody Saturday!

Agree...good horses, great odds....a good combination...we can get 5-1 anytime... Seems like I arrive at this juncture often...this is horse racing...this is gambling...why not swing for the fences...being right on a low odds horse in a big race isn't very fun...I wonder about ThunderSnow, lots of hype now, gets lasix, is being touted...8-1? I don't know pp2 not so good...Sonneteer's last fraction are inticing...should be fun...hoping CE throws a clunker...

Always Dreaming - He's fast early, and very fast late.
