yay horsey icons! I couldn't believe I didn't have any in my collection. Hence the searching of Getty all morning. *g*
My fave was Quality Road who was scratched last week.
The favorite, I want Revenge, was scratched this morning. That leaves Fresian Fire (with Eight Belle's trainer-- one of the cleanest in terms of drug use), Pioneerof the Nile, and Dunkirk as the top contenders.
Dunkirk and General Quarters are two pretty greys with kinda Cinderella stories. I think Dunkirk has a great shot. Really good pedigree, for what it's worth.
Mr. Hot Stuff will make a bid from behind (but I think Dunkirk's will be stronger). And don't discount Musket Man.
There's a whole lot of good horses out there. Ironically, from what I've read, the one who could beat all of them is the filly who won the Oaks yesterday...
