Am I the only one game for this one?

Well I do have Canadian blood to excuse myself for playing this non-American race.

Personally, I think this is a difficult race to handicap. You have two aging stars in Big Blue Kitten and Pizza man who have not been great lately, where you're not sure if they'll show up in this race. Wake Forest is another one that blew it in his last race, the Arlington Million, running 10th, while having a 3rd and 1st place finishes in two G1 races before that. World Approval deserves the favorite status, but is too rich at 2-1. Danish Dynaformer loves this track and is solid at the 1 1/2 mi. Camp Creek ran down a G3 field in his last race to win, after breaking his maiden before that. Majeed is not getting respect from the M/L odds, but has hit the board in two stakes races the last two times out.

Have any thoughts on this one, Walt, W Z?

sorry, had a lot going on and didn't get a chance to really get into these. i checked them out to see what was worth putting a bet on but didn't ultimately pull the trigger.

didn't want to believe in the pizza man but good ol' flavian has been pretty hot lately. so i guess i'm not surprised.
