I'll be there! Surprised when I got the news flash. I also read trainer Keith De was not thrilled with Exaggerator's workout last week. Going to try and beat Nyquist for 3 year old honors. Should be a heck of a race with Gunrunner and American Freedom.
Was asked to be in the winner's circle for a friend's horse in the 3rd. Could be a great day!

Sounds like at least a WIN bet is justified :)  Confidence!

All kidding aside, no wager will feel better than having your picture taken and the memory is priceless!

All those invites and they could only get 6 to run for 100K? Wish I was eligible to run...

I suspect that, when both the Derby and Preakness winners entered the race, some connections opted to find a slightly softer spot.  ;)
It may be a small field, but IMHO it's a high-quality one.

I don't think Exaggerator 's inclusion caused any defections because he wasn't even pointing to this race until yesterday. As of last week the DRF reports were looking at a small field. At least Sunny Ridge is here; he's been on the docket fir this since birth I think, ha.

I'm not touching Exaggerator with a 10 foot pole. He's coming off what connections labeled a poor work and wasn't even under consideration until yesterday?  No thanks. I smell appearance fee and he may not be ready for his best effort.

If Nyquist is upset my guess is Gun Runner. A sloppy track then maybe I'll reconsider.

One vote from the WBIBB club, he could pay close to $10 and sneak by the big two.
