Seek Again Stakes (808 Views)

Anyone looking at the feature race at Belmont on Saturday? If so: Does the line on DECORATED INVADER "scream" new top? First time out as a 3yo he runs a 5 and doesn't develop at all after that. Now he comes out as a 4yo with another 5.

I have seen similar profiles on horses trained by Clement. GUFO, a couple of weeks ago in the Man O' War, comes to mind. Favored at 3/2 he got beat a nose.

DECORATED INVADER figures to get bet as well. May even be the favorite if I use the M/L as a guide. I'm going to move him forward, but I have a hard time taking a short price on a horse like this.

I made FLAVIUS the favorite since 3 out of his last 4 look fast enough to win this. He looks like a 2/1 shot to me.

But the horse I'm interested in is EPIC DREAMER. Any reason he can't win this? Too slow? Well, Casse made some "equipment" changes while in Florida and the horse seemed to respond with a nice effort last time out. If he can do that again I think he becomes interesting at 9/1 and up. Anyone else like this horse?
