2011 King's Bishop Stakes - Thoughts on the Post Positions:

We’ll make sure to update everyone on the King’s Bishop Stakes’ morning line odds when they are released, but it will be a fairly large surprise if anyone other than 2010 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Uncle Mo is favored.  Ultimately I’d like to see him not so far out in the post positions, but he’s the best horse in the field by a fairly large margin and it will be interesting to see how he does after his long injury layoff.

Flashpoint has a great chance to pull an upset here and there isn’t a single horse that fared better in the King’s Bishop post positions draw.  This likely pace setter should love the inside spot in the starting gate and I could definitely see an upset brewing here if Uncle Mo is at anything but 100%.

Cool Blue Red Hot has been one of my favorite 3-year-olds for a while now but the far outside spot isn’t going to do him any favors.  That being said, I still consider him to be a horse that has a ton of potential and I’ll definitely be considering him for my trifecta box horse racing picks in the 2011 King’s Bishop Stakes.
