Remember Birdonthewire? In '93 he reeled off wins in the Tom Fool (7f), Forego (7f) and the Vosburgh (7f) looking like a monster. His only lifetime win at 6f was when he was a 2yr old in an MSW. So what does the public do in the BC (6f)? That's right, made him the chalk. Ran up the track. Easy easy bet against. Not saying HH won't handle the 6f, but your Aldeberan comment made me think of Birdonthewire.
