Cool ta - I think this year the TRIFECTA will be 3yo's. I don't think the HK horse can give them weight and beat them, either. I think the only open age horse with a chance is Spark of Life.

And if I remember right, Sports's year was a bad year I think and didn't Spinning Hill beat a small field?

Yeah, I looked at the field for Sports' year and it didn't look the strongest. Anyway, here are the placings in those years:

2001: Sports (6g), Black Bean (5g), Easy Rocking (4h) 12 starters
2002: Spinning Hill (5m), Mistegic (3g), Chong Tong (3g) 15 starters
2003: Choisir (3c), Spinning Hill (6m), Azevedo (3c) 9 starters
2004: Regimental Gal (3f), Our Egyptian Raine (5m), Mistegic (5g) 12 starters

Yeah - was wrong about spinning hill's small field. In the last three years, 5 of the nine placings have been filled by 3yo's. Often at this time of year the WFA scale suits 3yo's.

I actually have a small knock on Spark. This is by far the best bunch of sprinters he's ever come across. We'll see. His ratings are good enough but.

Alinghi at the weights for me. Her closing sectionals last prep were screaming class with a capital C. I'll want 3/1. Fastnet Rock had an outstanding Spring and handles Flem well. Some query in the going worse than dead for mine however. I think Lilando is a huge improver and is a short course specialist me thinks.

Alinghi
Lilando
Fastnet Rock
Spark of Life

There is something really pushing me towards Lilando in this race he will have no problems at al in any type of ground if anything he probably relishes the wet more than anything and at the 13-1 I saw last night he seems to be ridiculos odds.
