I would love to see Bellamy Road come back to his Wood Memorial form. I don't know if he's going to be fit enough. The field isn't really that deep though and if he could get loose on an easy lead, he could be tough. :wink:

I think Roman Ruler wins it, but Dont Get Mad worries me.

If BR is fit its over, as he has the class over the leftovers in his 3yr. old division.

Flower Alley scores

I like Flower Alley but almost by default as I think Roman Ruler is the horse to beat but I cant play him going 10 furlongs even under todays projected pace. I never was sold on Bellamy Road so after surgery then Zito looking at the Kings Bishop. I have to question his fitness and I'm not sure he is a 10 furlong horse vs quality horses anyway. Too many questions for the fav but I guess we will see this afternoon.

Boy, was that group spread out! The three favorites finished ahead, as expected, with the get-no-respect Flower Alley getting the triumph. Bellamy Road will get them next time, since this was his first after a layoff, and he sure tried hard. It wasn't Roman Ruler's day, for whatever reason.

Roman Ruler may not be a true mile and 1/4 horse, but I wish Bailey had gone with Flower Alley rather than allowing them to open up at the 1/2 mile pole and then try to close on a dead stretch that no one has closed on all meet! If RR had tried to go with FA, we would know for sure wheter he can get 1 1/4 miles.
