I'm not worried much about Talamo. He's run in plenty of big races before.
My biggest worry with Sidney is the possibility of running on an off track for the first time.

First time on dirt, period. I've always been anti- any horse that had never started on dirt, but Sidney's has really impressed me throughout his career and I have no worries that he will run fine on dirt. Whether that's good enough, who knows.
For what it's worth... he worked REALLY well in the slop on Saturday morning. I was very impressed from what I saw.
