I've never had so little conviction ahead of a classic race

NYRA website says its a go.

Eldaafer fits well, my bomb is Tim Ice\'s Gangbuster, who started 09 running
in straight 30K claimers, ended up 4th in the BC marathon.

Not a lot of conviction here either, but I\'ll be swinging for the fences:


Dave In Dixie - don\'t love Dixie Union on top, but Dave is a decent size colt with a good stride. strong distance genes below. solid \'4.75\' first out this year going 1 1/16 with a strong close. dawdling pace and trouble next followed by a poor effort over the Haw course, a surface very difficult to close over. gets Borel, and gets the 1 hole. should get a great trip here, and the race might set up for an off the pace runner. distance obviously the issue, as this may be more of a one burst middle distance colt, but he\'ll be one of the longest shots on the board.

Stay Put -  I like Broken Vow over Dixieland Band, and the sheet looks good. The 3\'s he\'s been running won\'t be enough, but the distance might get him over the hump. plodding type just might not be fast enough in the end, but the price will be fair.

Fly Down - looks strong. beat the other FD down in Fla with a nice stretch run. the Dwyer run was strong as well with a big figure and fast final 1/8. Not sure about the Fly So Free over Mr Prospector below, and the odds are gonna be on the short side, but he\'s big and he\'s fast.


use Dave, Stay Put, and Fly Down

Will use your 3 selections with Uptowncharlybrown being first or second.  Like the trainer switch and back to blinkers off;  horse was game in Tampa, is rested and can improve.

He hasn\'t run in 2 months. Everyone drinking the Kool-Aid again.

Good Luck,
