I agree that there are some hard-knocking horses in here, but this is the easiest condition that is available for DM. It's tough to even get these races to fill. They had to keep it a secret that DM was even going to run in this spot because if they let it be known that they were going to enter, then the race probably would not have filled. As it is, it's only a 5 horse race.
With regards to Areyoutalkinto me, I don't think he's doing too well right now. He's actually entered for $100,000 in this race. I doubt they would be willing to lose him for $100,000 if he was doing well. I think he has very little shot of beating DM.
I think DM will win the race. He can sprint and I think he's just too classy for this bunch. I heard he's training great. I saw him the other day and he looks great. He's much bigger and stronger now.
