So the rest of the field is obligated to sit back and let him have a public workout for $300k so he can be even tougher in the BC?

Going that wide on that hot of a pace for the entire race is very difficult type of trip.

Never said it wasn't. In fact, I came on here and said that was much more impressive than his Pacific Classic win because of the trip. But Shared Belief was going to have a tough, wide trip regardless of whether Sky Kingdom floated him out 1-2 paths on the first turn. Hence "a little tougher."

So if Sky Kingdom doesn't carry him out some on the 1st turn, SB is going 1w1w and tripping out for the win. OK.

No but I could see 2w-2w which given the pace would have yielded an easy winner rather than all this "not sure he can handle dirt - it took a lot of him talk".

being carried wide doesn't negate questions about him handling the track.
