A field of eight will be to the lawn for the Forester Turf Classic (GI), a race that has been won by a Who’s-who of great turf horses.  So, who adds their name to that special list?  I can see this going to five or more, add in the possible wet course and… it’s anyone’s guess.  For now, let’s give the edge to King Que Niagra, and that should come as NO shock at all.  He’s an absolute monster with nearly $7.5 in the bank, but if he has one hiccup, he’s never won over this course.  He was fourth in this race last season, but did miss by a head in the Wise Dan (GII) a few years back.  Can he get this one?  sure… but there are a few others that will have something to say about it.  I’m going to key the King, play a few exactas and see if we can make a dollar or two.  The Card sees him on top as well and has the six horse and the four horse next in line.   

Here’s The Field –
