Tony

On general handicapping Willard Straight was obviously a major contender in the race. Did you take note of his trip and impressive performance in his last race?

I didn't like him because Pletcher was giving him away and the trainer change seemed very negative. Plus with the relative lack of pace he figured up against it ( I bet the third finisher Si Or No who rated to set a slow pace ). However, certainly on paper Willard Straight had many merits, like him or not.

Give us some picks before the race, disagree with an opinion before the race, or take a hike.
