  • mdracing69 · Much better post position news for Hotep fans. He was hung out to dry in Risen Star, and he gets cozy rail this time around. Rates a longshot look, especially in the exotics. · 1184 days ago ·

  • mid0827 · The 13 is a pretty bad post. Do they consider scratching and running at Sunland? Not the worst idea in the world. · 1184 days ago ·

  • mid0827 · Was it me or was it the "Paceless Preps". Discreetly Mine was all alone on a half in 48 3/5. Conveyance took it to the Southwest field and ran them off their feet going a half in 46 1/5. Eskendereya rated in the perfect garden seat behind a turf horse and then inherited the lead when Lost Aptitude stopped. They went the half in 47 4/5 in that race. · 1214 days ago ·
