25 days away from the Classic, it sure looks like Game On Dude will be strong favorite. I'd like to start a discussion by throwing out one I'm looking at now as a potential long shot and that's Bourbon Courage.Has anyone heard whether or his connections even intend to run (might also fit in the 2 turn mile at SA)?
This 3 year old came out sprinting this year at FG may have regressed at little in the Derby Trial and Woody Stephens but looks to be cycling back to even better form late this year. In the Indiana Derby the winner got a 95 Beyers but BC was 4 wide on the first turn, 5 wide on the second turn and closed to lose a length. He was cutting back to 8.5 furlongs after going 9 in the West Virginia and Super Derbies. The ID winner, Neck and Neck, is not going to the BCC and as far as 3 year olds go I guess Alpha (who has not done anything outside NY) will be the most heavily bet.
Thoughts?
