7 - Irish War Cry

Without a Triple Crown on the line today Irish War Cry returns to the top of our contenders to take the final leg. As stated before, the son of Curlin has a top pedigree for the route of ground and the perfect amount of speed to get a solid trip over the 1 1/2 mile distance. Irish War Cry took off the Preakness to return full strength for his New York try and has solid works since that loss. Love the fact that not a lot of speed is signed on today, which means expect Irish War Cry to get brave on the lead under now regular rider Rajiv Maragh.
