Makes Murray Johnson's forays into Chicago for the Arlington Million when this horse was in its prime on the main track look ingenius. Then again, didn't Mandella himself derail Gentlemen's powerful '97 campaign with a ridiculous start in the Woodbine Mile on turf from which he emerged with a splint injury?
All that aside, I'm salivating at the prospect of getting anything over 5-1 on Thousand Words in here.
