The Met Mile was certainly as exciting as anticipated.  Sahara Sky ran a giant effort to run down Cross Traffic.  the were both very impressive, but I have to comment that Cross Traffic once again has impressed me as a superior race horse.   And I feel he would have won by open lengths if he had a better post position.  That’ s just my opinion, but I do feel very strongly about this…

Meanwhile, the boom filly is definately Midnight Lucky.   Other than her no show at Churchill Downs, has been one sensational effort after another…

I am getting set to start uploading video for the Belmont portion of this seasons Triple Crown races…  The fee is reduced to $12.50 for those new to the presentation…   Password will be sent out next Tuesday…

Great looking cards on both coasts this Memorial Day Weekend.   Remember, if you can, let a veteran know how much you appreciated their contribution to our national lives…  At Belmont, one of my absolute favorite races is the Met Mile.  This race usually brings the very best older milers together to ‘throw down”.  And that should be the case today with the very fast Cross Traffic once again trying to handle the horse with the ultimate “horse for course” angle in Flat Out — who heads up my rankings for this edition.  But don’t think you’ve done your handicapping if you don’t give some consideration to the much more mature and battle tested Mark Valeski and what about Baffert’s Fed Biz…  And that ain’t all…  this field is just deep and talented so grab a Power Page and get ready to enjoy this speed thirsty throw down…
