glass_oni0n: Good point on World Record, but in that sense I have a little bit of trouble understanding how ground loss doesn\'t potentially play a factor in his being a major contender.  That was my concern over Jefferson Street who clearly has the possibility of getting back to that good number, but could be wide in that second flight of horses.  If World Record is able to not completely flop (which he may, but I maintain he doesn\'t have to), he\'s the fastest horse up front saving ground, a two point regression could possibly win this race if trips impact others.  I probably want World Record, Prince of Monaco and Jefferson Street in my multi\'s and Speak Easy could be a little dangerous.

and I did consider that Jerry was being a bit facetious, but that\'s why there are masters and students :D

ajkreider: If Speak Easy is anywhere near double digits, I think he has to be played.  Runs big first out (better on Beyer than TG).  Huge layoff, runs well back.  Normal spacing for this one says he goes nicely forward in only his 3rd race.  

Walloped two of the Travers runners early on.

Worried a bit about Domestic Product late, since I think half the field is going to be gunning for the lead.

TGJB: You used the only word in the English language with the vowels in order. You can work the Y in there too, for a bonus.

Isn\'t there a song - AEIOU and sometimes Y

\"Facetiously\"

apparently, Facetious and Facetiously are not the only ones -- although a ton of the other ones are mighty obscure words.  One that isnt so obscure - larcenious

johnnym: Thanks Paul.
Struck me a bit peculiar that Jeff picked him on BYK show. Also the regress came with no lasix.
I’m leaning towards Domestic Product.

TGJB: By now it should be clear why I didn’t do the race for the seminar…

glass_oni0n: Loud and clear XD

Final answer for me is 5-10*-1-2.  Speak Easy is the one that\'s on the fringe of my ticket.  I absolutely hate that Fierceness is trending as an overlay; I have no idea what to do with that.

*I meant 10 not 12, 12 would be a tough horse to make in here...and Prince of Monaco is 5

Molesap: Vettriano will be a big price and has not been fully extended this year in his two facile wins. He still needs to improve, but expecting a lightly raced three year old to jump up a couple of points at this time of the year is not out of the question, especially since he essentially paired his first 3YO number. I like that he cuts back and is from a top barn. I think it is easier for horses in sprints to make the jump into stakes races the first time but he could not have picked a tougher spot. Still I think he has enough to offer to use here at the kind of price he is going to be. I am going to key him and bet to win.
