he is in the Commowealth BC 7f G2 Saturday

what is physically wrong with him? I really liked this horse last year. he looked so good on the track early January, against Kelly's Landing ( he should have won ). then next start in Feb. he looked like a beat up horse before, during, and after the race. He looked terrible.

I'm actually glad to see Bejerano off for JJ, he must have a commitment w/ Miller due to Dominican. don't see alot of real G2 speed in there. Maybe he can sit a good trip. He'll probably go off between 8 and 12 : 1

worth a shot?

like someone else said on another thread the fact that victor dosent come in to ride midnite lute turns me off in a big way, and river city rebel was very impressive last time out.

I may be a sucker, and I'm likely not playing it anyway -- but Gin and Sin scares me just about every time out. I think he's got tons of talent and has gotten his share of less than ideal trips, even going back to the Prairie Bayou (?) at Turfway and then the Mac Diarmida at Gulfstream.

He doesn't sport the gaudy stats of some of the others in there, but he ran his career best race over this surface last fall.

And just so I can't guarantee the last and second last exacta, I'd not discount Lewis Michael either, if we're fishing for a price in a race that seems pretty open . He ran one of the best two races of his life over this surface in a GII last fall and his style could be to his advantage over a quirky surface. The shape of the race seems like it will determine his involvement or lack thereof, but on his best, he's a contender in here.

Obviously, they're both fringe contenders, but I wouldn't be shocked to see either of them run really well on Saturday.
