I think Gemologist is going to win, and I think Street Life is going to be the one that gives him the most trouble.

I hope Alpha runs last after they committed to 3 different races in 2 days

I would like to see Street Life run well.

I think scro told me  Gemologist has to be 1-2 to get in the derby.
If  Gemologist gets in,  I will be making my derby selections around him.
If not,  time for me to quit betting. rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1

Impressive. And A Nice 2nd by Alpha after having to check hard going into the first turn

I expected more from Gemologist.

I hope he just makes the Starting gate in the Derby unlike the previous 3 Wood Winners. 2009 - I Want Revenge, 2010 - Eskendreya, 2011- Uncle Mo, all got injured and didn't make it.

I like Alpha underneath in the Derby too. He just seems to always be there at the finish.

He made the lead and started playing. I think he is only going to get better plus I give Alpha a lot of credit
