Ok, I know, I know. Fierceness and Sierra Leone blah blah blah. Look, each of these ponies have issues. Fierceness isn’t all that fierce when he is not in the lead and Sierra Leone is in a rough 2 position making it a long close. Do I want these horses to beat me? No, but I do think that it’s going to come down to a horse who is being very ovelooked up to this point. I am going to make a case for Stronghold. Here is why. Fierceness will try and set a fast pace having to move from the 16 hole to the rale. Could be some very fast fractions today. Stronhold will sit in the mix and stalk This is a very long race at a mile and a quarter, and I think some of the wide closers have the best chances to hit. I also decided to land on Just a touch. This horse has some Justify in him and he actually ran the better Blue Grass Stakes than Sierra Leone with all else held equal. Here is my tickets. Best of luck to you all!
