Fortissi More in the Belmont 2nd?
Before you guys hit me with the "
" Smilies... I know he aint much horse. It's the
concept that comes into play.
Last race. Fortissi More had the hedge in the mile race without Temp.Rails.
The speed faded and he wasn't going to do anything anyway but he was pinched badly in the stretch (which the Past Performances refers to as "no rally" wtf?)
Today he gets the 18ft rail and blinkers and the potential to get the lead or 2nd early. Being a Mile on the Widener, he also may benefit from the chute turn.
Coa , Prado, and Luzzi may also try for the lead.
Supposedly if the concept works , and Fortissi More actually gets a good front running trip on the rail, he could surprise with a better than expected effort for a 15-1 long shot
