I guess I will be cheering for Rombauer, but betting on Known Agenda in today’s Belmont. I have to believe that a Twirling Candy out of stamina oriented mare has the best chance of going 1 1/2 miles. But the win in the Preakness will make Rombauer overbet, so my money will go to Known Agenda (Curlin out of stakes winning stamina mare). I really cannot argue against Essential Quality, so he will be in my multi-race wagers.
The horse I will really be cheering for is Dream Shake in the Allen Jerkens. He was one of my selections out of Ocala last year. It is fascinating that sons of Twirling Candy will be competitive at 7 and 12 furlongs.
It is too bad Quick Tempo got hurt, his Beyers would have made him a decent 3rd or 4th choice in this field. He has been working well (almost too fast) for his return, maybe in late June
