That said, I'm sure LJ knows whats best for his horses. If he loses in early May, I doubt it will be the time off that did him in. As someone said previously, it will probably be due to the stretchout to 9 panels +.
I can see him pulling ahead of the cavalry charge at the top of the straightaway only to be overtaken in mid-sretch by a handful of horses and finish anywheres from 6-9.
