That encompasses just about every top 3 yo, so should be a critical race for HOY (which Apex has not wrapped up yet, since this + BC will be factors if he stumbles in both.)
Nix Nacken is a real wild card. Melander has him and he can run with Apex, except he is a gelding. Apex is worth $20mm+ if this season works out for him. Nix Nacken is an aged trotter for the future, perhaps earning $2-$3mm over the next 5 years if he stays healthy. Clearly it is Melander's interest to see that Nix Nacken doesn't get in Apex's way for the Kentucky Futurity and the BC; sooooooooooo Just saying.
