Just posted my picks. Past the Point could run well, but there’s ample speed to compromise that trip.

Striking Dancer especially was magnificent last time out.

Who do you like in HOL6 on Saturday (G3 Native Dancer)? I think 3 is the closer, but 4′s speed and 6′s history scare me. I’m thinking about 3,6/3,6/4,7,8, hoping that 4 gets run down in the stretch.

I had him nailed in my Saturday picks and was more than impressed with his performance…the jockey looking back at the turn to see how much of a lead he had, then pulling away in the stretch. Very impressive win.

Right now the 3-year-olds for next year that I’m tracking are:

-Square Eddie
-Midshipman
-Stardom Bound (f)
-Munnings
-Vineyard Haven
-Old Fashioned

There are a few others I like, but those seem to be the cream of the crop thus far. Just looking back though, at this time last year I liked Majestic Warrior, Court Vision, War Pass, and Pyro. :)

Watch these 2 horses.

Old Fashioned winning the Remsen, did you see that?!?! He was so impressive, and I think it’s great that Larry Jones is the trainer. I would love to see Larry Jones win the Derby next year, especially after Eight Belles, and he’s come in second two years in a row now.
Also, I can’t leave without throwing in some good old Curlin mania!! (-: I was tickled pink when Einstien upset Commentator and won the Clark! Being Curlin’s #1 fan, I immediatly thought: This is great, Curlin beat Einstien in the Stephen Foster, and now Einstien beats Commentator in the Clark, which just makes Curlin look all the better to me!! (-:
Hope you had a great holiday!!
