There aren't that many turf stakes that are for straight 3yo males left on the East Coast this year. The Kent is one of those that is left. Saturday, 2 of the better turf horses and the full brother to one of the most beloved to ever race at Delaware Park run in the Kent.

A few notes, very interesting choice of jockey on Lentenor, fantastic post for Interactif, and bad ones for Grand Report (although he does have the right jockey) and Workin for Hops. I gotta go with Interactif, I've loved this horse since he was a 2yo, Workin does have a bit of a class edge coming out of the Sec. Lenny's last race was okay, and the FL Derby form though has been falling apart. Those are my top three in the order I posted. As for possible dark horses obviously Grand Rapport, but keep an eye on Stormy Lord. He's already won at this distance up at Woodbine and finished second in the Breeders' Stakes (compared to Interactif's 6th place finish in the Belmont, but that's not a fair comparsion since the Breeders' is on grass where as the Belmont is on dirt).
There might be some rain in the forcast, but hopefully it will hold off till Saturday night. A few final thoughts for tonight, next week will start the BC Live Chats. I'm going to be keeping them on topic as much as possible and next week will be full of getting ready for Super Saturday. The chat will be starting at the regular time of 7pm. As we get closer to the BC, I will announce when the Preview and Recap Chats will be. So stay tuned for that.
