the case for medal count...

[CHOWDERMAN]

looked over what romans did with paddy oprado and dullahan....both horses ran a new top in his last prep before the derby, ableit only  3point tops and then they both paired up in the derby....

he and intense holiday have run the two best figs going in, however, after pletchers horses imploded in the 3 of the 4 stakes races yesterday, that leaves medal count on top for me....

with trepidation, will have intense holiday unerneath, can\'t leave off 1 of the two top figs...commanding curve at 50-1 on the ml is a must for tris and supers...liked samraat earlier this week, he;ll probably battle for the lead in the stretch but get passed like cat thief and shakelford... and ride on curlin also thrown in there...borel a genius at this track and specific race....he\'ll ride him right and the horse could run a new top....good luck to all

I\'m with you on Medal count too..

Think the pace will be fast and he is a strong closer and will have no problems with the distance.

I think Cal Chrome sticks around for a piece will the grinders like Danza, Ride on Curlin and Wicked Strong suck up the other spots.
