I know there aren't many racing followers here, but hopefully we can get a little participation even if you're just picking by name. Here are the entries for the big race on Saturday.
Everyone seems to like Zenyatta, but I'm going to prefer Blame. With 4 starts this year, 3 being wins, 1 being place, I'd say he's at least good for second and I might play him to place and show. I also wouldn't rule out the 3 Haynesfield considering he has the top jockey in the country. Of course, that counts for nothing if he has a horse that can't stand up to this competition. Haynesfield has 4 starts this year with 3 wins and he just worked out 4 furlongs in 50.00 seconds. Some of the others can go faster, but overall he doesn't look too bad. And taking a look at number 1, Quality Road, he's also looking like a nice pick. With Todd Pletcher training and JR Velazquez riding, you can't go wrong.
To round out a superfecta, my prediction is:
8. Zenyatta
5. Blame
1. Quality Road
3. Haynesfield
Now that I have projected that, it is almost garunteed that it will not come in.
Let's make this fun! What are your predictions either by name or by reasoning?
