FB did it on his own courage and I would expect him to run a bigger race at SA, I'm not sure where the value will be but I don't think either Gayago or Zensational at what might be underlaid odds will be great bets with what they might have to face, based on his race last yr if he didn't run into freak like M Lute, he would be running for back to back titles.

You make it sound like the rider was standing in the saddle hand-riding. FB was in a drive just like every other horse in the race. He should be more fit 2nd off the layoff and obviously is OK with Santa Anita, those are reasons to bet him, not because he didn't have a lot taken out of him in his prep.
