Juv. Filly: I really don't have much of an opinion on this race, but I will throw in EX CAELIS. Just a longshot with a chance.
Juv.: STREAM CAT Another race that I have no real opinion about. I'm not sure he can pull off the win, but if he does, it will light up the board. I am expecting him to be flying down the stretch!
F&M Turf: In order of preference...SUNDROP, MONA LISA, OUIJA BOARD, Sundrop and Mona Lisa lacked any room down th stretch in the yielding Beverly D. Both looked ready to roll once they found an opening. Mona Lisa had to pull up sharply.
Sprint: WILDCAT HEIR, LION TAMER, LIIF
Good Luck!
Larry, can you email me your selection sheet for the 'CUP, if you have one. Thanks, Jeff
Jeff, I'm not sure anyone else will chime in on this team and I'm on my way to Long Island in 30 minutes. I've e-mailed you my analysis and you'll note we are on the same page in the F&M and Sprint. The best way to spend $32.00 is probably 2x2x2x4 and I'll leave the final decision to you if no one else chimes in. Personally I like Knight's Templar and Original Spin in the Juv. Fillies into Henny H. & First Samurai in the Juvy into my 4 selections (Wonder Again, Ouija Board, Mona Lisa and Sundrop) in the F&M into Wildcat Heir and LITF in the Sprint.
If no one else chimes in feel free to "mix and match" and give Hooper our final play decision on the team's behalf. Good luck to you.
I'll give you 3 for each and a fourth for the F&M Turf, in case you want to make that the race with 4 selections. Who's in charge of putting together the ticket?
I'm OK with it with the exception of Origial Spin. She looks talented but if she wins it, she'll be the first to do so off of only two races. And its not like were talking 1 or 2 horses, at least 10 horses have tried it in the last five years including highly regarded runners Bella Belucci and Society Selection, as well as Culinary (off the same prep race last year). All have failed. I'd prefer Along The Sea or maybe Ex Caelis instead.

I have no clue about the first two races, so if you guys can come up with a couple that would be ok with me. I just can't get a hold on those races for the life of me.
