Hock..
Funny anout him.. This is an odd and difficult race and I looked long and hard at Trippi's Storm here as a possible alternative. First, Trippi's don't turf much or well, and Hough is dreadful moving horses over from the main. (Though hw has been working him on the lawn since his last effort and must like what he sees). But add in the stretchout and there was a lot not to like.
Early on when I started getting into horses, someone told me or I read that it's a caution to bet on horses being asked to do something for the first time. It has always stayed with me and it applies in this case. While not without a chance to do something here, we'd be asking Trippi's Storm to do some things he's never demonstrated he can do before and the odds we get for doing so appear short versus several other options...
