Don Warren is really sticking his neck out with Acclimation on this one. That horse has found a new lease on life as a loose-on-the-lead marathon runner out in CA. He could have stayed home and waited for the Sunset a week or so later where he would have been the prohibitive favorite. (There was also talk of him going to the Hollywood Gold Cup on the main track).
Instead, he goes for another Grade 1 and the big money. His style will be tested by Straight Story and Get Serious, who also own ample amounts of early speed.
