Best of luck today, and congrats and thanks again for all the insights and sharing the unbelievable tear you've been on!
Larry,

Ran out of time to get the MTH thoughts out in full... As I said Friday though, I think among the favorites, the Haskell goes through Trappe Shot. Get the feeling that Baffert is still playing from behind with Looking at Lucky after the brief illness, and Super Saver will need to beat me again to garner respect. I think you want Afleet Again in your plays as the right price horse. First Dude is the one to fear as I don't think he has to have the lead but will take it if it comes his way.

MTH 12: 43rd Haskell (G1), 3yo, 9f (P3, DD, Super)

Most Likely: #8 Trappe Shot 3-1
Best Value: #2 Afleet Again 12-1
Next Best: #4 First Dude 6-1
Super Add: #5 Our Dark Knight 15-1

Thank you for the kind compliment. Has been a nice opening quarter to the Spa session... Good luck today!
