Not saying HH won't handle the 6f, but your Aldeberan comment made me think of Birdonthewire.

but don't forget that this years vosburgh was 6f not 7...and HH went 6 in his other start this year as well. The biggest question is where he will draw...HH is not good out of the gate...he is usually off slow. That is not a good thing in a race of this caliber @ this distance...if he draws the rail he will be up against it. With that said...those that know me know I'm this horse's biggest fan...i say he wins.
