_________________
I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Just started looking at these races. In the Stars and Stripes, Armstrong Mill looks alright for the step up in class. This is a horrible field for a Graded Stake. I also like Perfect Shower.

Also, Rainbow View is OUT of the Bev D and Marsh Side did not make the trip to Chicago and will be scratched.

Million - Gio Ponti will be really tough to beat - best horse outside of Zenyatta especially when the weights are equal. I would put some money on Summit Surge. Fallon doesn't make the trip to lose.
