    Yes R.P.,to soon for me also.
    Two things I will say,since the surface change,Keeneland has become very "chalky".And as far as our T.C. champ,he's going to have to bring it against his elders. Nice topic Cinfront,in the words of our ex-guv,"I'll be bock".

    Glad to see somebody pick a filly other than SONGBIRD in the juv fillies race. Granted, she demolished a field where the also rans have come back to win, but I have not listened to one single guru who didn't think she would roll in the Juv fillies. 2 yo fillies(and colts) can be very unpredictable?

    There is one I have had my eye on all year.I know Nyquist is all the rage right now,and I see you favor him Cinfront. But there's another "tot" headed to the Juvy I feel can overtake him,Exaggerator. He is my only sure play as of today,as long as he stays healthy.

    Most people seem to think Songbird will be the shortest price of BC weekend and for a reason.

    I'm with DC. I'd like to play Tap right back and get great value, but this one seems tough....

    Turfer Girl, if you like Exagerator, what about Brody's Cause.
    Wow I didn't see that Breeders Futurity. He really looked super coming from far back to beat Exagertor.

    Brody's Cause     on my radar also. If the BC were held today the ever improving Liam's Map at 2-1 or better (doubtful) would top my list...One other is the freakish Runhappy

    One that could offer a decent tote..Got Lucky

    I do like this HORSE Cinfront,excellent pedigree. But I like Exaggerator a wee bit more.Here's both in the Futurity.

    Looking at The Breeders Futurity video a few times, of have to say I'm on Brody's Cause for the Juvenile....
    Remembering Texas Red, last year, how he won it.

    Me too. I also have some slight interest in Masochistic.

    Sprint - Runhappy

    Juvenile Fillies - Tap To It (prefer Songbird, but the value lies here. also think she's the most likely to improve stretching out)

    F&M Turf - Legatissimo

    Turf - Golden Horn (most likely winner on the card, I think)

    Some interest in Hit It A Bomb as well. Comes well regarded from the top Euro outfit and may be a tad undervalued in the American betting pool.

    Mild interest in Masochistic (Sprint) and Gleneagles (Classic)

    Note: I think this year's Juvenile is the weakest I've seen since I started betting horses over 20 years ago. They seem light years behind the Juvenile Fillies field. Wish I could find a prop on the fillies running faster than the colts.

    No very much plecther and Baffert in the juvy ranks. I'm big on masochistic too, hoping he isn't overbet. I need 8-1 to bet straight, but I'll be using him in all horizontals.

    DC what are you anticipating on getting on Legatissimo? She is shaping up to be my favorite play of all the BC races, but I'm fearing 3/2 range with her currently lingering around 6/5 in overseas books.

    D.C.,Private Zone is a force but if Runhappy can keep it straight down the stretch,he can take the Victory.

    R.P. I respect your choices,I like Big Macher also,nice HORSE.But Work all week and Private Zone got the best of him in the Sprint last year.I feel imho,he's in tougher this year.

    Watch the break and it's a throw out..same as the WC and he ran on...PZ will never win going 6f. And run happy has been running lights out but what does he have left in the tank...he was exhausted at the line in last..will be a spread race in exotics..very tough race..what kind of fractions are we looking at here...
