but I'm still with Smarty.

Me too, but I don't like these extra-large (20-horse) fields.

OK, I'm going to say:

Lionheart
Smarty Jones

And the third is... too hard to decide.

Either Imperialism or Tapit... I'll try to choose before they leave the gates. lol

Tapit gets a pint of Guinness every day.

Reason enough to root for him.

Sloppy track. Will be interesting. We are about 35 miles from the Downs.
