Forecasts

Orange County (11/8), Boundless Love (5/2), Shoreybomba (4/1), Greenlight Racer (6/1), Chestnut Bomber (9/1), Robert Browning (9/1), Bloomington (11/1), After Hours (40/1)

ORANGE COUNTY earns the narrow vote. Bloomington should be thereabouts come the business end, while Chestnut Bomber is another with the potential to be on the premises.
