With all due respect, what could possibly make you think they're going to go that fast?
Prado is one of the least aggressive jockeys in NY, so he'll have to put Be Bullish to an all out drive to set those type of fractions and even then Cornelio is likely to let him go and stalk from the outside.
This is far from a tough field, in fact, one might argue that Brilliant Son and Aquino, who he defeated two back were better (perhaps earlier in their careers) than anything he's facing today. He also buried Have You Ever last time out and that horse was coming off a sharp N2X win on May 1.
All I'm saying is that trying to beat this horse, especially in a race where I Ain't No Saint and Law Enforcement have basically no chance, is not a good idea in my opinion.
