    This horse has a huge chance. British sharpie Nick Mordin says he has a steady grinding style that should fit the race profile of the classic.

    Decent chance that he's simply the best 1 1/4-mile horse in the race, too. I'm more worried about the surface switch than probably anything else. I do find it extremely puzzling however that O'Brien opted to run him in-between the Arc and the Classic. That's asking an awful lot of the horse, especially considering the cross-Atlantic journey. The horse will have to be like a steel tank to pull this thing off. Maybe he is; we'll see.

    Indeed that is an awful lot of racing in a short amount of time.

    It's possible we could be in for a longshot in the classic. Havre could be over the top, though I do respect her chances. I don't think Mo can go this far. Thirsty seems a cut below. Flat Out has put together a nice campaign but I also view him as someone more likely to settle for minor awards. I actually think First Dude has a better chance than most people think, but he could be compromised by Mo.

    Im leaning towards THAS. The thing that gets me is why is Zito entering Ice Box in this race? He didnt life a hoof the last 2 times he ran. Sure as shit I played him both of those times and he will once again see a few $$$ thrown on him from me and will probably run dead last again!
