I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.

The Met does not disappoint..as usual. Should be a fun race. 

I actually feel it's been a little lackluster in the past few years. But this year's rendition is stellar.
So many favorites. But, Mitole! Who breezed yesterday..

I don't expect a repeat of Frosted's otherworldly performance but I expect this to be a pretty fast race!

I could be wrong but I expect a cavalry charge at the end and the margin of victory won't be bigger than 2 or 2 1/2 lengths.

If the betting comes in strong on McKenzie and Mitole as expected, then just maybe FirenzeFire floats up a couple of points making him the best value bet.

Bet Mike Smith would like a do-over of that ride.
Gotta wonder what might've happened if Thunder Snow and Mickenzie had any running room earlier...
Big congrats to Mitole, gritty!

Very nice win by Mitole but wow, Mckinzie found all the trouble he could find. Very nice effort by him!
