Flintshire and World Approval...

Manhattan

Sorry, couldn't help it...

IMHO, the Manhattan has drawn a better field than the Met Mile. There are some world-class turf horses in this race. Will Flintshire claim the US as his own? Is Ironicus back to 100%? Has Grand Tito forgotten that nasty fall he took in the saddling paddock?
Dang...there are so many horses in this race who wouldn't shock if they won.

I always love this race...even more so when Ops Smile won at almost
20-1 back in Silver Charms day  :chickendance:
Ironicus for me

Where's the slow down emoticon??? 
Looks like that Flintshire likes his Lasix, that was a heckuva work.
Not as easy as I first thought

I'll give Slumber a chance to upset the chalk here.
Flintshire hasn't run since Dec in Hong Kong. Taking a chance against him with all the globetrotting he's done plus the layoff. Also like Wake Forest a bit and Big Blue Kitten 2nd off. The Kitten is 0-3 at 10F, but he appears to run well over the inner turf.
Take the Stand is the wise guy here. With the early speed in these tighter turns he could go gate-wire. He's never been this far though and he could take pressure form Triple Threat and Grand Tito (who is hopefully fully recovered from the paddock incident on Derby day).
