Winplacsho · It would be nice if trainers we're so scared when their horses were assigned high weights & real top class sprinters returned to this race, like they did back in the day. · 544 days ago ·

RyanBrady · Sunrise Smarty is my pick in this race, because he is not "The Highweight", and his early speed on the Aqueduct racetrack (Main or Inner) is as dangerous as they come. If Todd Pletcher leaves one of his in the race rather than opting for The Grade 1 Cigar Mile on Saturday then they will be the ones to beat on paper. One of the nicer editions of this race in recent years. · 544 days ago ·
