But if he draws a middle to outside post and someone chooses to go to the front and set some pace well then he will stalk and he can stalk and he can win doing it . Because I kind of get tunnel vision , who will be the pace setters in the Breeders Cup?

Honu!! How was Hawaii?
To be honest I'm not real sure who is coming from Europe and what the pace implications will be from those who do come. I'm not sure if Showing Up is planning on running in that race either, but he would have tactical speed to at least insure he doesnt get away in 1:15 again.
As far as Americans pointing to it, I only know of Cacique and English Channel and I think EC has more speed than he showed last time but that the post postition caused them to try and rate.
Not sure how the pace will unfold at this point.
Is the Tin Man gonna be in the Hirsch this weekend?
