Afleet Alex has a great story i.e. connection to the little girl who started Alex's Lemonade stand. I'd like to see him win. Greeley's Galaxy has a nice story too- 83 year old trainer Warren Stute and the owner B. Wayne Hughes had to put up $2000,000 to get in.
Bellamy road sure looks the part, an absolutely gorgeous horse to watch.
I thought Don't Get Mad ran an impressive race, but it was only one week ago. If you subscribe to the "bet on the grey" theory Giacomo would be the horse.
I also like Wilko, Sun King, Andromeda's Hero, Bandini, and Sort it Out for a long shot. Wait, maybe I'll just put $2 on every horse in the race..... arrrrghhh.
Good luck to everyone.
I like the look of Bellamy Road too. And I do like Afleet Alex's story. Still wondering why Baffert is running a horse no one is talking about. He's by far my favorite trainer. He's just a cool guy.
What's the "bet on the grey" theory? From the "De Camptown Races"?
Love to hear! ;-)

Had you actually picked Giacamo, I would have bought you something on ebay. Damn! I should have "bet the grey," because it is a decent bet when in doubt.
It seems no one bet Giacamo here, or Closing Argument.
If we find out otherwise, we should pay *homage* to the betters.
We did pick the losers quite well, didn't we?
That woulda been a winner!
