First Mission is the obvious one, but I think his price will be waaay too short to bet.
I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.

Been watching on FOX. Looks like the sun's trying to get the upper hand here! The damage has already been done for the turf races, but maybe we get a break for the Whitney. Track rated GOOD, perhaps?

I hope it dries out somewhat- I hate a big race like this run on a muddy track- some horses like the mud, others don't- so you don't get a true picture of who is really the best horse- just what horse takes to the mud the bestMissbeholder wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2024 1:48 pm Been watching on FOX.

CLASSICIST, 2yo colt in race 5, is a grandson of Storm Flag Flying and sired by Curlin. What a pedigree on this guy! I hope he is fast

The race was won by the other Pletcher, Uncaged (Curlin x Dark Nile), with Sea Vista (Street Sense x Sara Louise) 2nd and Classicist 3rd.

WOW Ferocious [Flatter x Napier by Midnight Lute] was incredible on his debut, even if he missed the break. Wow. Happy for Delgado and Javy! This colt has quite the stride too. He also cost $1.3 million at the OBS March 2yo sale.

I love Flatter, so hopefully Ferocious will carry on his sire’s legacy

Arthur's Ride was a clean white streak in front. Wonderful showing by the Tapit colt.
Love that his dam sire is Point Given.

Tapits are so wild
