I'm sorry. A phone call like that isn't 'information'. It's a tout that will be repeated with all the other 13 entrants... Patrick Biancone is telling anyone who'll listen to him that Pulsion has a big shot... Brian Meehan told Iavarone that Radiohead needed to go in the Juvenile and not the Juvy Turf because he gets over the synthetic fabulously at his training center and should be tough to beat on the main track... There's another 10 stories like this. So? Who's wrong? Maybe no one. All 14 might run their best races yet and only one is still going to win. It's a $2,000,000 race. Anyone who isn't bringing his colt or gelding into it ready should get out of the game.

Handicap the races and select horses on their merits and price. Blindly betting based on the unending parade of trainer and hanger-on pushes isn't horseplay... All it does is sour people on wagering ultimately. And I particularly don't want that type of 'information' promulgated here. I'm sorry if I appear harsh. There's no shortcuts to winning in this game.

One actual reason why Aspire may be interesting is his sire Tale of the Cat who is having success with progeny on synthetics with a high percentage of Stakes Winners. He's run three similar and solid races and could move forward if the surface is to his liking.
