I guess her case for HOY would be strengthened or weakened based on who is the frontrunner for champion older horse. Flat Out or Game On Dude?

Oops. I've made that mistake before, I just did it in my head where it's much less embarrassing. I forgot ol' Tiago got 3rd. Oh well. He still had more excuses and wins in the DWC, Stephen Foster, Woodward and JCGC. As much as I adore Havre de Grace, her record isn't quite the same.

If Game On Dude and Flat Out both show up for the Clark, that'd probablly be the older male championship right? How do you see that affecting her chances depending on the winner? (I love how I'm campaigning Baffert's horse for him. He technically hasn't said Game On Dude is done for the year, and he's a tad frustrated about the Classic loss so he might go for a shot at HOY if he thinks another race'll do it).
