I\'m not that old, but can anyone remember a worse field in recent years.  Other than to see how Alex runs, is there anything exciting about this race?

SoCalMan2: I think Afleet Alex could be a bet against.  I certainly think he is going to react to his Preakness effort.  The question is that, if he bounces 4 or 5 points, can he still win or will there be horses in there that can take advantage of that vulnerability.

Mall: Not sure if Putin allows Moscovites access to race replays, but if he does, you might get a kick out of the 3rd at Canterbury yesterday. Hopes are high for the big day after that performance.
