1st Elim I like Lyonssomewhere
2nd Elim He's Watching
-
I think the 2nd elim sets up for Somewhere in LA ....
-
2nd Elim He's Watching
Will never see the rail !!
-
If He's Watching makes it around the track without any gallops I'd take my chances on him winning it all.

Partial preview of my later today/tomorrow DRF column -- The first elimination appears to be the weaker of the two on paper, not that it’s a bad race. Cane Pace champ Lyonssomewhere has drawn post seven. While I don’t see him winning his elim from out there, he does have great gate speed, as he showed in the Cane, where he had the same post, albeit on a 5/8 mile track. He has never raced on a half, but I think he gets the lead and yields late. My pick in the first elimination is At Press Time. For the first time in a long time he does not face McWicked or Somewhere in LA. Look for him to fly late, although he will need some cover to carry him, which is not always the best strategy at Delaware. Let’s Drink On It has drawn poorly all year, and may be able to use the rail to advance.
The second elim is a duel between a pair of sophomores ranked in the Top 10 of the sport, McWicked and He’s Watching. Throw in Somewhere in LA and you have a heck of a horse race. McwWicked has the rail and that makes him the one to beat. He’s Watching is versatile, but the six hole makes him vulnerable. I think he edges out Somewhere in LA for 2nd and a $4.40 trifecta.
In the second (don’t call it final) heat, He’s Watching and Lyonssomewhere wll both get improved posts and one of them will upset McWicked, forcing a race-off between that winner (who gets the rail), the favorite and At Press Time. In the end, class prevails and McWicked wins the second leg of the pacing Triple Crown and stamps himself as the prohibitive favorite for divisional year-end honors.

The 3 year Old Division is wide open heading to Lexington. Whoever gets hot late. No clear favorite at all right now.

Congrats to the Burke's and all the connections on the win. Loved Yannick's drive, obviously falling into line helped, but the way he used Somewhere in LA as a pick the last half mile...He's Watching and McWicked were both really disappointing, He's Watching especially.

I think Somewhere in La is my top pick right now , this horse has went some brutal trips and can take a lot of air and never quits.
I think he will love getting back to a big track
