The PP draw is going to make this a lot more interesting

More than a lot more interesting...... ..

[Fuguzzi]

And yes, I already have Suicide Prevention on speed dial. But then who would WhiteRabbit have to argue with on here?

[JIDGE]

TT leaves finds a hole -- who wouldn't want to sit behind Confederate...  Where that hole is could be the deciding factor -- too close he's forced to come first over.  Not one to miss.

[Stan durbread]

Lol. I just wish we had mid 80’s instead of 60. Probably won’t be a super fast mile but should be a good race. It is a snake they go with division’s instead of going with top 10. At least we got those 2 in same race and the Karl/TCI matchup tomorrow

[Brown jug]

too bad they couldnt put seven colors in there as well
might have to wait for bc

[Harness Stats]

This may be an adventure for Confederate.  Unlike the other division there are no real speed horses here except IMS, no one to give him LIVE cover, plenty to give him weak cover.  It might be time for a float and blast that downhill 2nd quarter straightaway to the lead. 

After this race the discussion of GOAT may resurface if he overcomes everything in style.

Easy there my man Fugs, if this race is as epic as it looks like it will be theres a chance someone else could win. I really don’t care who wins as long as we get a classic battle we can ponder over for years. After all that’s what it’s all about. Maybe a Life Sign or Wiggleit jug type memory!

[Harness Stats]

Somebody else win? That would pay boxcars.  This division kind of sucks other than the big two.  The exacta box will probably lose money no matter who wins after takeout.

I have 4 photos on my man dresser. My daughter, my older son and my younger son and Life Sign. In my living room is a picture of my all time favorite racehorse and the horse, who at the time replaced Whata Baron as the greatest FFA I had ever seen, Red Bow Tie.


Great call on Life Sign Jug as an all time harness racing memory/moment.

[hoosierboy]

Maybe this will be the race that Tetrick cuts.  He says Confederate can race on lead or off the pace

[Open bridle]

I put my money on Confederate regardless of post.

[Fuguzzi]

Only thing i will say pre race at this juncture, is I would be absolutely floored if a 3rd party horse came along and beat both of the BIG 2, unless Timmy and Scotty do something absolutely crazy, either separately or together. Can't see that happening in this universe.

This will, of course, be Confederate's greatest test so far.

[Laag]

Is there really much talent in this field but the top 2

I see Confederate able to float pretty well and get midpack spot. Tetrick may have to activate him earlier than usual but Its My Show has shown a propensity to tire late. Its a wicked turn of speed and have we even seen Confederates best yet? First over or not he goes on by
