Just a quick note, Gun Runner worked heads-up from the gate (Feb. 8) with the multiple stakes-winning filly Stageplay, who is the 7/5 ml favorite in today's Rachel Alexandra Stakes (Race 9). So you can probably upgrade that one's chances if Stageplay posts an impressive win.
Thinking about betting this one. He should be a nice price, and has reportedly been training very well over the local surface (and thus, may well show improved form, especially since he's had almost 3 months to grow since last seen on the racetrack). Also, may not have liked the mud last time (when beaten by Airoforce and Mo Tom, both entered here), not that he ran poorly or anything.
Who do you guys like in this race?

#4 is the SoCal shipper who looked good in last when stretched out to a mile. Low-key connex ---you wouldn't think an outfit like this would ship unless they liked their chances. The Assman Gun Runner has a recent workout pattern unlike any you will ever see from his stable? Amoss is giddy over Mo Tom and Uncle Walter has been well thought of for a while--Ramsey/Maker and Javier spell real contender!
I believe one of these 3 wins the derby
Nyquist
Airoforce
Mohaymen
GOOD luck today fellers!
