Honestly, looking at that list only Dehere's failure surprised me.
My point is that solid handicapping will make the right decisions and going into your handicapping with a preconceived bias will harm you in the long run.

Agree 100% on Point Given's Champage as I recall the rail opening miraculously for Chavez on AP Valentine.. The loss to Macho Uno was agonizing as PG wins with the wire 3 inches further away.. And point well taken on the capping notion..
Andy.. Who was Tri to Watch? Have not one iota of a recollection of that '91 Champagne winner.. None. A Fred Hooper runner trained by Carl Domino.. but what else did he ever do?
