The only horse who needs 3 preps this year is Curlin because he had ZERO foundation.
Oh I beg to differ that the horse does not know. Agree he does not when loading to go 1 1/4 miles but you bet your bottom dollar he will know when he starts wavering at 1/8 pole gasping for the line. Must have the 3 preps for me or toss out for the win.
