There was never a chance of this race not being covered… not when SOUP is involved!  One of my absolute favs of all time, visited him many time at Old Friends… so much character, and what a runner. 
So we stay with a big day at PRX and look at the field for the Alphabet Soup Hcp, a mile and a sixteenth turf test for PA-bred gents.  I’m staying out of this one and will let the Green Card handle the heavy lifting. 
They say Toc Black Magic is the one to key on, throwing out that tiring effort in the Fourstardave (GI) and that was a loaded race, where he was only a half-length back.  He had four wins in a row prior to that, some of those vs. PA-breds, so he knows the assignment. 
It’s always hard to ignore a Mb Stables’ entrant, and Big E has three wins on the year, all vs. PA-bred horses.  I disagree with The Card, as I just don’t think this one likes the grass, although he has two wins on it… as usual, I’m probably wrong, but, my two-cents.

Here’s The Field –
