Full field of twelve going postward for 9 furlongs over the poly at Keeneland.

Some quick thoughts:

1) Hold Me Back - must have some ability if Mott is trying to get this one on the trail so late. Missed several months but has a couple of good races over Poly. Kent Desourmeaux comes in to ride.
2) Bittel Road - Probably will be the favorite but hasn't shown a ton of ability of the Poly. Maybe it was a tough winner in both cases.
3) AP Cardinal - 400K Baby looks like a dog
4) West Side Bernie - Return to poly might be right answer for this colt. Ran a solid BC Juvenile at SA and has won over the course.
5) Jack Spratt - Looks like a turf horse solely geared toward over night stakes - not G2 competition.
6) Parade Clown - Has had two tough trips in a row. Will he get stronger stepping up in class or step back?
7) Bruce N Autumn - Not much to point to here.
Orthodox - Probably going to be a turf specialist but wouldn't be the first horse to have sucess Turf - Poly.
9) Loch Dubh - Didnt do much at Oaklawn but after good sprint win over Poly - taking one more shot.
10) Flying Private - 700K baby who's won 1 race in its lifetime (8 starts)
11) Dynamite Bob - 1 for 11.
12) Proceed Bee - Nice win in overnight stake last out. Big step up in class and outside post hurts.

Personally, I think this race is garbage. I'd probably go after odds with the 4 and 8. Not betting it though.

You're right. Lot's of names that haven't done anything. I'm hoping A.P. Cardinal or West Side Bernie wins so that a few people bet on them come Derby Time. I wouldn't bet this race.

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.

Should have known Mott wouldn't call Kent in for some dog.
