I can't find a race in this prep season I actually liked, PERIOD. Obviously Esken's Wood ranks high- but I have a very strong feeling they are holding this one together with string and tape, Pletcher putting wraps on is a HUGE negative. And besides him... they all pretty much suck.

His 2 turn win was on Poly also, if it was on dirt it would be a different story.

I agree about Esky, I can care less what they are saying about another horse run down earlier in the day. What is he gonna say, "He's a race away from being dead lame but we can get one more out of him"
