Liked just a very few, from what I have seen...

Not ordered by preference, I\'ll need to read the sheets and have post positions to decide

Classic Empire
Always Dreaming
Hence (very nice race at Sunland)
McCraken

will need to add two or three nice longshots

what about Conquest Mo Money with a good post position?

CMM would have to be supplemented . . . \"only\" $200K . . . a mere \"bagofshells\", as it were.

It will be interesting to see if any of the top 20 decide not to go.  Just watching the races, I would have thought that maybe Malagacy and Cloud Computing would not go, but (without having seen their sheets) I would guess that both moved forward from their prior race.  If Untrapped gets to number 20, I wonder if Asmussen would be tempted to suggest that he stay home, which would make room for Lookin At Lee.  The latter seems better suited to 10 furlongs, and the Derby looks like it might set up for a closer.
