Now that the field is set lets take a look at some of the winners and losers.
Winners
Hansen- It was either the 14 hole or the rail, and he caught a big break when his name was not called for the rail.
Dullahan- He is sitting in a great spot in the 5 hole with the speed surrounding him.
Gemologist- the first gate in the aux. gate, Todd has to be very pleased with that.
Take Charge Indy- Four words: Calvin and the rail. I think everyone knows where this guy is heading once the gate opens on Sat.
Optimizer- It could have been worse, Jon could have been stuck with the one hole again.
Went the Day Well- Not quite Animal Kingdom's post, but a very good one in Post 13.
Losers
Bodemeister- With him inside the other speed (Hansen and Trinniberg) he maybe forced to get into an unessarry speed duel with the latter.
Liasion- If this was a Big Brown year then this wouldn't matter, the problem is this is not a Big Brown year and he isn't the same horse since losing his jock in a prep race. Now he's stuck with the 20 hole.
Alpha- The post is fine for any other horse, but he has a history of gate issues. Will he in the gate too long?
Daddy Long Legs- To come all the way from Ireland, skipping the English and Irish 2,000 Guineas only to get stuck with the... 1 hole.
