I love Lawyer Ron. He is a nice, gutsy horse that you can't help but root for. I agree with DaHoss in that I think Lawyer Ron is a very nice Grade II horse, but doesn't belong at the top. Neither one of the top two horses were slow today as the final time of the race was very nice, and Lawyer Ron ran under 47 seconds for the opening half mile. He was also expending a lot of energy, and was very rank. After watching the race, I think that LR might could have held off SC for the win had LR been able to settle. It would have been close though. I really don't think that LR is a mile and a quarter horse. I also don't think that is would be wise to send LR to the BCC this year. He would definitely be overmatched in that race.

SC is definitely improving. I think that Ward should definitely take the gamble and send this horse to the BC Classic. I loved the way be accelerated and galloped down the stretch today. Beautiful moving horse. It looks as if a mile and a quarter isn't going to be a problem for him...
