I absolutely detest the name Tonalist so they sort of shades my opinion of him TBH. Moreso he is a big horse with problematic feet- that is never a grand combo.
He also had an easy lead on a sloppy track in the Peter Pan. Most good horses look great in that situation.
I just saw something today that I don't think I have ever seen on the track-- and granted it isn't like I am out there every morning- but after Chrome finished his gallop and was winding down the trot, DelGado completely dropped the reins and was patting Chrome about the upper neck with both hands. He must really trust in the easy nature of Chrome because that is a helluva gamble on a pretty valuable piece of horseflesh. Of course, Chrome didn't even look at the water trucks revving up beside him at that moment.
I am not sure about the crazy new shooters that might be entered, but it should be noted that there isn't really any other horse in the race that has quite the top cruising speed of Chrome early on. Samraat is also a stalker, and I like him. Will be interesting to see if Tonalist goes to the front, but should Chrome break fine, I could easily see him cruising along at the front , and it will definitely take someone biting the bullet of their own chances to go challenge him.

I've been mia a lot this week due to 2 horse shows back to back with crappy service.
Did see this morning the chrome and curlin were both quite full of themselves galloping and curve went over 2 miles with a much stronger 2nd mile.
