  • 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. · 189 days ago ·

  • humphrey · The race actually gets its name, which today is a real joke, used to be a real weight carrying challenge with winners like Station under 140, Roman 140, Delta Judge 138 and the amazing Ta Wee destroying the boys in 70 under 140 pounds · 551 days ago ·
