This potential field has me nauseous. It\'s abysmal. Chances R Heat Lightning and Master of Hounds enter the fray? R Heat Lightning would double the number of triple-figures Beyers in the race. As for the Master, c\'mon, Aidan, bring that beast over here to slay this fraudulent group of 3-year-olds.

richiebee: What is it about a 20 horse field, where the favorite might be 8/1, that makes you
nauseous?

These are the kind of betting opportunities that do not appear often.

Einstein66: It\'s a great betting race, no doubt. As it stands now, the tri will be 10K-plus. But I would still like to see R Heat Lightning and Master of Hounds because I want to see the best 3-year-olds in the race.

number5858: I think that what he really means is that this group of 3 yr olds doesn\'t seem worthy as of yet. There is still a lot of time though. I agree that it would be nice to see Master of Hounds in the derby, but what a tough ship. Historically, that ship has not let to many positive results next time out.

sekrah: Are you kidding?  Master of Hounds would be lucky to run 19th against the prospective field.

number5858: But that\'s perfect. He would take some bad money.

sekrah: This is true.

I think there\'s a couple waiting to explode in the Arkansas Derby as well..  I look for big efforts (TG 2 or better) from ArchArchArch, Astrology, and Elite Alex.
