Love Bolt the Duer to upset potentially. Thinking Out Loud should also be there.

Tough draw for Yannick on the rail.

I think this will be one the better Meadowlands Pace finals in years. Very tight race.

$600k purse......wtf!

I am hoping for a clean trip for Thinking Out Loud , I don't think you will get 5-1 but if you can bet with both hands!!

tri key 7 w 1,3,4

*** edit*** put down the 5 for some reason , not sure what I was thinking?

Heston Blue Chip cannot lose.   Looks to be covered to the top of the stretch and he can sprint.

Last week first time with these upper level 3YO's and did well, wll improve off last.

Plus has Tim T.

I am hoping for 2/1 or better.

Who is your pick?

[Dolfan]

I would stick to a top 5 driver & stay away from Sweet Lou, Duer & Thinking Out Loud.

So Heston, A Rocknroll Dance,  Pet Rock or Simply Business.

Someone explain to me how Brennan's phone didn't ring.  If I owned Bolt The Duer, I'd have had Brennan driving & I'd already be waiting in the winner's circle. 

And I'd have given Mark MacDonald a $100 gift certificate to Applebee's (yuk!) for getting me locked in but lucking out to qualify.

Hey Jug - how much did the Burke Gang give you to bad-mouth Palone/Lou and select against them? I know they're thankful.

Check out the "experts" selections.  As for me, I think Sweet Lou should be tighter this week and has a real good shot.  However, I also think there are several that can win, so no favorite for me.
Pet Rock has a shot as well as several others.  We will see what the odds are and I'll pick some good prices.  Sears, an inside post if the odds are double digit I might just go with him.

The great thing about this forum in the past was how analytic posters would get in advance of the Saturday Meadowlands cards.  Doesn't seem to be the case this year with as many people voicing their opinions (Bachst Inn, Red Bow Tie - where are you guys?) so I'm glad to see the high interest level in this race already.

Last week's track favored front end speed for most of the night, including the Pace elims.  Don't think that will be the case this week.  I'm figuring Heston Blue Chip will be on top early, with A RocknRoll Dance and Bolt The Duer leaving for position.  And if you're Sears, wouldn't you be leaving with Pet Rock?

So if Sweet Lou is first over - unless Sears beats him to it - will Tetrick let Palone go? And will Waples be following Palone with Thinking Out Loud?
