		<description><![CDATA[Halfway to Heaven is definitely an x-factor.  Gotta love that close third to Zarkava (and Goldikova) in the Poule d&#039;Essai des Pouliches at Longchamp back in May.  Plus, we know the 3-year-old filly crop out in Europe is legit. 

WIth Halfway to Heaven you&#039;re getting a horse that is ALWAYS in the mix as they reach the wire.  3 Lengths is the most she&#039;s ever been beaten by, and it took Zarkava to do that.  Yup, she&#039;s a good one.  Hopefully we get a decent price.  

Dynaforce is the one I didn&#039;t mention that I&#039;ve got respect for.  You&#039;ll hear a lot of people say to discount her becasuse she got sloppy footing in the Belmont race last out - but note that she&#039;s been fairly consistent in the lower 100&#039;s Beyer wise.  

Here&#039;s what I should have gone into some greater depth on regarding Forever Together...look at the versatility.  3 for 7 on dirt.  3 for 5 on turf (no out of money finishes). Toss in a decent 2nd last year at Keeneland in the only synthetic try...I think there&#039;s less risk of Forever Together &quot;not liking&quot; the Santa Anita turf.  Just a hunch though.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I liked Goldikova at first glance, but then I noticed she has first preference in the Mile. Halfway To Heaven looks good!]]></description>
