What racing has become.
I have an idea. Why not everyone post a prediction of what order the Baffert horses finish?
I will start.

Yes.
Drew into both fields with the Dirt Mile being Cupid's 1st preference.

These horses deserve to be there, but there can't be anything positive about the Browns, Pletchers, Bafferts, and others controlling so many of the top talent. So, even though it's the other "super trainer", I'll be pulling for Asmussen to beat the 5 with Gun Runner.
This reminds me of Europe with how top-heavy we've become.

Maybe they'll offer the wager, with a 45% takeout

Something tells me Arrogate finally turns the tables too, but I am worried about his two duds on this track, as I am also on any non turf race here since most horses haven't raced over this surface, which seems like a Saratoga random graveyard of favorites type

If West Coast is anywhere near 10/1 I'll probably bet him to win, I hope the other riders don't let the NY bred get an easy lead.

No way in Hades is Diversify gonna walk on the front end with Gun Runner, Collected, and West Coast in the field. Should be a pretty honest pace, if not even fast to sizzling.
