Lawyer Ron

I'm curious to read some opinions about LR's race today. I watched the replay and I thought that he rated nicely for Edgar and finished well. I liked LR last year and was hoping to see him do well this year, even if it is only in Gr2 up to 9F. I really think the Met Mile would suit him and maybe the Whitney in August.

Moving him to Pletcher and getting him to rate makes him a top 5 handicap horse. I agree mile may be ideal distance but more money in the longer routes.

I just watched the replay and thought the same thing. I haven't been a big Lawyer Ron fan but I do think he rated well today and looked relaxed.

While he ran well today and the handicap division may be as thin and weak as it ever has been I will need to see it in a little better competition that this bunch of goats.

I agree with Chuck. I didn't like how he looked galloping out, but I think that Edgar is a good fit for him. He seemed more relaxed.

Just happy to see a nice 3 year old from last year running as a 4 year old!

Yeah right after you say that he'll be heading for the Breeders right now.

It was thiner and weaker at this time last year....in fact, last winter was the absolute worst the older male division has ever been in all my time following racing.
