Noteworthy Predictions

Menez has stated he is not backing Disco Time despite his strong record, highlighting concerns regarding the competition and his unfavorable starting position. “A perfect 5-for-5, Disco Time is a deserving favorite, but he faces several other speed horses in the field, he drew the unfavorable No. 1 post and his odds will be way too short,” Menez explained.
