Nice collection of jockeys and trainers for this full field race on Saturday.

Oh, it's gonna rain alright...and it plays right into Dale Romans' hand with Quick Wit, who shows a G2 win in the slop at the distance at Saratoga this summer.

Picking up top Chicago rider Francisco Torres doesn't exactly hurt, either. 

Romans is having a career year: 9 Grade I wins already...or is it 10?

Someone else can bet against him come Saturday; I'll have him on top, or I'll skip the race.
