Many nominations are not actually in the race, verify entries.

Think Timeline has to go? West Coast goes w/him or drops back? Usually Parx has the track super fast for their big day. That Bris late pace number of 115 for West Coast in the Travers is impressive.

[VigorsTheGrey]

Timeline and Outplay look like the likely pacesetters with West Coast settling in behind these in 3rd...Mike E Smith must wait this time...should be exciting race, especially if the pacesetters slow things down a bit...1 million up for grabs here, game on...

try this again

Looks like a pretty solid pace here. Timeline being inside may be a bit forced, unless they try something new with him. Irish War Cry seems really to need the lead in order to run his best race.

No way West Coast is near this lead, in fact I can see him sitting 3rd or 4th at best.

Does in fact tend to hold up on their biggest day...watch out

Should mention also that although the rail is usually dead at Parx for most of the year....it tends to be pretty good on their big day.

IWC on 9/18 sharp 5F 100.2 B. Training like a winner

[Afleet]

I think Guiseppe the Great is a fine horse, but why put him in this race? I think Zito's ego gets in the way to the horses detriment

[GMB@BP]

There is a Navarro in here, does he get the vegetable juice? Time to line the pockets.

Tell you what.
You can have IWC, I'll take West Coast.
Straight up......head to head.
I'll even give you +1.20.

Not the worst bet by any means....the sleeper must awaken?

Going to pack the car and head to PARX soon for "Derby Day"...

Say what you want about PARX, but two Grade 1's and a hat giveaway, with FREE ADMISSION and free parking isn't a bad deal.. (Compare that with our Preakness day, and I am $350.00 ahead when I walk in the door)

You guys have a great (and profitable) day, no matter where you are playing..

I am debating going today. Do they still allow you to bring in your own food and bev? I havent been since the casino took over. Gates open at 10!
