No Persistently or Qualia? Moyer's Pond will be crushed.
Looks like a good list to choose from.

I won't bet a dime on that race but I'll watch it because I love both horses. The reason being I don't like thievery, run dead last and collect a hundred grand.

Yes, should be a great race. Who ever wins won't change my mind about either horse.

WOW...looks like both Z & RA are going to face a hell of a good field...and I assume the gate will be full. I hope Stardom Bound runs well...if she actually goes.
I want a dead heat so bad...how can you choose between RA & Z...I can't. One of them is going to loose

No quinellas at OP, so you gotta pick one; or box 'em.... in which case you'll get 3.10 on your 4 dollar bet, lol.
