Ahh got that one didn't ya ...I know he is a good horse & that helps him get the trip(not being intimidated by going inside & having a powerful move) along with the Jock(also not afraid to run the rail) but what if that rail is finally shut down on the turn & the top of the stretch and there is NO POSSIBLE WAY of getting his preferred trip...Does anyone from the Church of Carl & Calvin care to enlighten us? Does he still win?...place?...show?...OTB? Will going 5-6 wide cause him to "hang" even more? Being that wide will Borel be looking over his shoulder at the pretty ladies in the grandstand instead of the fast closing horsies behind him giving the Deciples even more reasons to blame for losing?
Thanks for your thoughts.
