I'm not saying he rates to beat Flower Alley, or that I even expect him to, but I am also not quite ready to annoint that one a champion yet. Let's see him race in a little more contentious spot.
As for the Tom Fool, it does seem like a reasonable spot, but I think it's only $150K and Silver Train is supposed to go. So, he's fighting Silver Train for a winner's purse of $90K whereas even second money in the Whitney is $150K and third is $90K. So, from an equity standpoint, I would have to think the Whitney makes a lot of sense.
I also think Commentator is nominated for the Tom Fool though I have absolutely no idea whether or not he is pointing for it.
