If it\'s dry...West Virginia. A pair up with a took up and big rider change to Gomez. He\'s 6-1 on program but should easily be 10-1 when they open the gate. Rain moves up Wild Desert in a big way.

Probably will insist upon 10-1 plus. The Jockey Change could be positive off the last I suppose, but Velasquez is on Spun Sugar in the Ogden Phipps in case anyone is harboring any thoughts that this is a Pletcher horse that has gone overlooked.
The interesting stats from the race are Biancone at 47%
Pletcher at 41%
and
Dutrow at 33%
Additionally,
Romans at 21%
And Fred Bradley at what appears to be a very legit and honest 19%
Lastly you have Perfect Drift looking for money off a very respectable Churchill record.
Heads up Pletcher and his 41% vs. Romans and his 21%, gonna take the Romans horse.
It should be an interesting race.
Ron Ellis brings the Buzzard in for this one instead of keeping out west. He showed a fondness for the strip in the 2005 Derby. Will be close early with ground saving trip. Believe he will open up turning for home and will hold the rest off.
I think the race \"fell apart\" :-)

lol
They were all right there weren\'t they.
Looked like Wiggins had the biggest excuse but West Virginia did neck him so I lost my head to head.
REDBOARDING 101
W.Va.-2nd string Pletcher hoss,even he can\'t get consistency out of him-TOSS
Brass Hat-huge jump,and then a visit to horse hell-TOSS
P.Drift-Poster child,runs neg #s and is fresh-exotics
Buzzards-Ellis improved him after Mullins had him(what ya say about that Mr. Chance?!!) anyway hes\' a one shot wonder-TOSS
Love-Dutrow cripple.These kind never aspire to the potential we soft-hearted humans wish on them-TOSS
COSMONAUT-Now this is the hoss!!!Whole new horse on dirt...big dirt pair-ups(one at Keenland)...last was throw-out...last two he had some trouble at gate.Maybe putting on blinks can help.Sheet looks like long campaign,but I think the day he 1st ran on dirt ,was the beginning of his efforts.Same jock that rode Gerilla to an unbelieveable win! Hot trainer(don\'t care much for him).
At 25/1...hell the only exotic you need play is... Cos/Drift/All
TRUST ME ON THIS!
Right Church or Temple David, however you ended up in the wrong pew.
Seek Gold....Zito Off the new angle to play.
