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

[Somnambulist]

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..

[Treve]

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

[Mylute]

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.

[Squeaky]

One of the best fields in a long time. Really looking forward to it!

[Slewfan2]

Ugh, of course Coal Front gets the worst post by far.........

[Kurenai]

I'll be rooting for Thunder Snow of course, but I think this might be a bit too short for him.

[Izvestia]

Crap post for Coal Front. Rooting for him and Firenze Fire.

Looks like McKinzie got pounded pretty hard in the early daily double....

#8 Homerique ($4) with:

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.

[Mylute]

Love the name change.

Why the change of subject line since this is a thread about the Met Mile?

[carole]

Why the change of subject line since this is a thread about the Met Mile?

I think it’s meant in jest since the Met Mile is sponsored by Runhappy. And let’s face it, what isn’t these days

[Tessablue]

Mitole is just ridiculously good.

[katmandu]

Thunder Snow was not getting by Mitole, McKenzie I'm not so sure. . . regardless, nice run (again) by Mitole.

[ThreeMustangs]

Bet Mike Smith would like a do-over of that ride.

[Treve]

Gotta wonder what might've happened if Thunder Snow and Mickenzie had any running room earlier...
Big congrats to Mitole, gritty!

[stark]

If they were to card the exact same race back in 3 weeks, McKinzie would be 1/5.

[CoronadosQuest]

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