You know things are bad when the HOUSE trainer ships

Shug's horses run pretty darn well on the synthetics.

He (and Byk) got real lucky at AP, when Dominican was shut off the length of the stretch. Doubtful he sniffs favoritism tomorrow or gets another break.

I don't like Approval Rating. The race went 4-8-2-3 around the track, which means he got the best trip other than the winner. Marchfield closed well, running wide on the turn, but I don't see why the added distance would favor him. Moreover, Husbands, uncharacteristically, had him inside on the 1st turn and backstretch; doubtful he gets another good trip from the Canadian Mr Wide No Cover.

I think Equitable ran a much improved race last out and he should be a price. Hopefully, he'll have his mind on running.

I like him, too. Looks to have come out of his last well and should turn in an improved effort. Bred for 10F too.
