Default Trippi's Storm

Steve mentioned Trippi's Storm at the end of the show as a possible sleeper... Now I am one of this horses' biggest fans, but I just don't like his chances. He's had a long, tough, though remarkably consistent campaign, running his top (a TG 2 and change) five consecutive times. In my opinion, this, along with the relatively quick turnaround from his last race, makes it highly unlikely he will move forward, and even if he can manage another 2, that number shouldn't be good enough in this race. 14 of the other 17 horses have run as fast or faster this year. So I doubt very much that my money will be going in his direction (and I am sorry to say this, because I really like the horse).
I do realize that taking a stand against a likely 20-1 plus horse is no amazing feat, but just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.
