Met Mile
Where's the love for this race? About a zillion posts on The Belmont, but squawck zippo for a race that features Bayern, Tonalist, Private Zone, Honor Code,Wicked Strong, & Pants On Fire. Nothing in the sports media either that I've seen.
I know the handle gets driven upwards, and the race does get more exposure being part of the Belmont Stakes undercard...but the move sure has turned what is annually one of the country's greatest races into a bridesmaid.

That is such a sensational field. I have decided to just watch it with no investment. The BC can't pull off a field of that magnitude, not at least with so many coming in in primed position. So exciting!

Bay of Plenty. Probably not, but will swing anyway.

May take a shot with a runner I've never been a fan of...Kobes Back
Comes in off a solid effort that puts him in this company, ran down a mediocre pace in that race, brief freshening with many works, price and pace look right.

I'm using Private Zone, Tonalist, and Honor Code in the pick 4.
Bayern has zero chance. He's never won without a clear lead, and he's not getting that in the Met Mile.

If all the speed stays in, Tonalist will be ultra tough to beat

I think you have may just slightly underestimated Bayern's chances, but it's good to hear somebody getting emotional about this truly great race.
I mean, come on--this is a collection of REAL race horses, not the one with Snow White and the 7 dwarves that are going to be running later in the card.

Yeah, Frosted does have kind of a white patch on his forehead.

I agree, Frosted does resemble her. I wish Tom Durkin was still calling. Would love to hear "AND as they arrive at the top of the stretch, Frosted takes command with devastating ease!!! American Pharoah is Tooooiiiilllinng."

Honor Code/Wicked Strong/Tonalist/Tamarkuz
Ridiculously tough and loaded field.

I've bet Private Zone on the nose pretty much every race for the last 2 years, but not too sure if I can take him again this Saturday since I also think 2 turns isn't what he loves.
Watched Tonalist's last race and he just didn't look that convincing in the victory(Broke slow, soft field, and he just didn't look right. Not to mention Rosario is off him)so I'll be leaving him out.
That being said I'd probably take Zone, Tamarkuz and Pants on Fire in verticals

The Met Mile is a one-turn race.

He did not have a clear lead in the Woody Stephens last year. Dueled early w/Pure Sensation. I'm using him due to the fact he's won every race following a clunker. Also, he's won at Belmont.
I was excited when I first saw Kobe's Back in this field but I can't see him outrunning Tonalist who has the horse-for-course angle locked down in this race.
My P4 will be pretty chalky w/PZ, Bayern, Tonalist & Tamarkuz.
