If Blended Citizen's last 2 races on dirt instead of the all weather, I'd tie him up with a few in the exacta.
I don't think there's enough speed in here to help any of the closers. Good Magic making 2nd off the layoff and a gotta use for me. Quip - ditto on above. Will be a class test and might get an "A". Not a really impressive field so I'll include Sporting Chance also - DWayne has been bringing home a few big prices in the last few years and don't want to be left out.

Ryan Moore in for one ride for TAP and Tabor is interesting.Sign me up for that 15/1.Had no shot in the FOY with that run.Could be a head banger.That being said I think Romans goes all in with Free Drop Billy 5/1.He has the Kee win and we know that means a lot.

Doc - Don't you think the Euro riders who only ride over here 2 or 3 times a year and rarely ride on dirt are not as good as the better riders over here all year long? I remember when Gary Stevens moved across the pond for a year or so and didn't fare well over there.

While we are talking the Bluegrass...I actually like a horse in the 8th..The Madison Stakes....
Could be a nice bomb (shocker)at higher than the 12-1 morning line...
#4 Ms Locust Point...an off track won't hurt this horse.....I think she is primed for a huge race...she can win at many tracks...
Good luck to all... Jack

I think that's a fair statement BT.
Although,Ryan Moore is not your run of the mill euro jockeys.I have heard this is more of a tune up race for him.That doesn't mean he won't be trying to win.In fact I think he will squeeze all he can get today.Another thing I have heard is that a Kentucky Derby win is a top goal for him.Well I guess anyone in the sport for that matter.This year he seems to have a legitimate shot at it with his ride.I'm not going out on a limb and saying he will win the BG today but 15/1 is an overlay IMHO

As a California honk, I'll go with Kanthaka here, as there is no Bolt in this race.
Looks like Brown has Good Magic tight with that last work.
Flameaway seems to always run well--gotta have him.
For a tri bet, would throw in Sporting Chance and Marconi. Lukas already has one in the bank today.
