To FE we go for a big day of racing and this one has a real Kings Plate feel to it, since they all were either in it or prep’ed for it.  A mile and three-sixteenths on the main track, this is the Prince of Wales Stakes.  The only wildcards I can see in this one is (a) we are expecting rain on Monday, so how does the track play and (b) do we have an upset?  I’m going with no on both and expect a similar outcome so let’s give Duke Of Love top billing here.  He closed like a freight train to take that big purse at WO, so why go against him today?  Mountain King was third in that WO race and is another that loves to run on late… again, why rock the boat.  Let’s put that one in the second spot.  Disclosed ran a big race in the Plate Trial, skipped the Plate and shows up here, catching the rail.  That could be bad news for this group if he uses that freshening to stomp out the Plate fire. 

Here’s The Field –
