why monba wont win the foy

[Bobby Fischer]

• ridden as so much the best in Churchill allowance
• stole the spotlight in the Cashcall stretch
• trained by Todd Pletcher

We don't really know a damn thing about the horse yet, but he keeps dropping hints that he has serious talent. FOY will be an excellent chance to actually learn something about Monba.
The wagering value of "potential" horses like this is determined by the odds. We don't get good value on Monba in the FOY(what does he go off here 4-1?), but depending on how deep we want to spread a wager he could be difficult to toss. Say we loved Kentucky Bear, and wanted to key KB in different levels of a trifecta or superfecta... including Monba in some of the slots is probably wise.
