You don’t see this often… The Green Card and I agree on one.  The Man o War (GII) is a marathon mile and three-eighths test on the innerTurf here at AQU and we draw a field of seven for this one.  Let’s go to the rail and give the big barn and Killer Instinct the nod today.  He threw an uncharacteristic dud in the PWC Turf (GI) but other than that, he’s always in the picture… loves these long ones and with back-to-back winner King Que Niagra running last weekend, he’s not in the way here.  Let’s go right next door and put House Of Games in the second spot, fresh off of that wire-to-wire win at KEE in the Elkhorn (GII).  He’s proven to be another smart buy by the Spankys Barn outfit, winning two races, with a third, since being purchased back in Nov of last season.  I do like Mb’s other horse in here, but let’s try to nail down the exacta and walk away with some foldin’ money!
