This jock understands this notion of all your eggs in one basket. It's one of the few advantages you have when you aren't on one of the top bet horses. Reminds me of some of the rides Delahoussaye used to give. THE BELMONT AND THE KING'S BISHOP = 2 PARASITIC GRADE 1 WINS(easy front, and sucked up from the back by huge sprint pace.) I think Lantana Mob is better, but may have been just a bit too close. That's what I mean. More was expected of him, and so maybe the jock didn't feel comfortable laying him too far back(like Visionaire.) Got bumped around top stretch, too. Seemed better when Asmussen had him(LOL.)
