Commentor gets to run for a million against claimers at Charles Town. Rail Trip is being eased along and pointed towards a Hollywood campaign. All of a sudden Grasshopper is a grass horse

Not sure on the others

I think you will see Macho Again in that race at Charles Town...at least a very reliable source told me so.

Two thoughts from that article: (1) how in the world could Proud Spell and Acoma be co-weighted at 120 lbs; and (2) isn't Seventh Street a more likely winner than Acoma?

well, not sure what the conditions are for the Apple Blossom, but Proud Spell hasn't won a race in 8 months and Acoma is a GIII winner within the last 5 weeks...
