Marty,
As I said, I don't mean to come off harshly. The discussion you prompted about the Kenneally 2yo's for Saratoga was general and innocuous. To say "Kenneally will have Aspire really ready for this" as a justification for playing him or not to leave him off multi-race wagers is just silly. And frankly, it sends a poor message to newcomers to the game that the key to success is 'inside information'. Support this horse, or any horse any time, on his relative merits as discernable by the facts presented. Not because you get a call saying he's really ready. They're all going to be really ready.
