Well, obviously, but I’m actually talking about today’s 9th at Belmont, a.k.a. the Peter Pan!

Swifty tried to lure me to out to Neverland today but I declined thinking that might be able to pull off my annual cleaning (no luck so far, and look at the time!)… it’s only been the first race and things are going really well for him. Keep up the good work Swifty!

I’m going to take a pass on Casino Drive at such a short price. Last night on the phone Swifty, unaware of the Better Than Honour angle, asked “Casino Drive, WTF?” And rightfully so perhaps, as Alan wisely points out the inequity of judging Eight Belles’ connections as reckless when she had more experience than most of the field, yet Casino Drive’s quest for the Belmont can be characterized as a “historic quest“… barf. Annoyance aside, I am looking forward to seeing his performance, but am looking elsewhere in this field.

It doesn’t look to be a very speedy field, but Casino Drive and Spark Candle are kind of pace unknowns. I’m going with it being moderate to slow

In addition to Tomcito, I’m interested in Ready’s Echo and Cosmic… both have proven they can do well off a moderate to downright slow pace and both look to be improving.

Good luck to all, and let’s hope everyone comes home safe, all day for that matter!
