Re: Grasshopper, Because I think he will improve 2nd off the layoff so I am expecting a better performance, and he is essentially facing the same horses, except Magna, who won't win.
Re: Daytona, what do you mean too good to be true, and Hooves, Solis will single-handily get this horse beat. Look at what he did when Solis DID ride him, completely different running style and horse. The horse I like in this race is Proudinsky. I don't think 1 mile is his game and he should appreciate the return to 9 furlongs, plus the addition of Gomez. Plus, do you really think they are going to let Daytona go again, I really think SOMEONE is going to go with him, especially because Solis will try and put a hammer lock on him...
And for the record, I am not hammering Solis, he has improved dramatically recently and has been riding well, I just don't think his style fits this horse.
