(# 7) BIG BOLD PLACE - Nice spotting by trainer Bob Barbara. Owns more wins (5) than any other member of this field. He's proven at two-turn distances and has a fine overall turf record (23-5-5-4).Boasts some of the groups best speed figures. Should run well.

(# 9) Blues Street - Pletcher colt comes back off of a freshening, after running four times earlier in the year. Good turf record on view, but tackles older for the first time and there are many multiple winners besides the top selection here. Also must overcome an outside draw.

(# 2) Chestertown Slew - Needs to reach back into his past and come up with a turnaround effort. One of the last of the Seattle Slew's you'll see running. Working well for this and may be ready like he was last spring off a lone turf prep.

(# 1) Of All Times. - Impressive win last out and has been improving since moving into the Matties barn. Has speed and the hedge, so he'll be in front as far as he can go. Not an impossible task.
