The thing is, he's as good as any of the horses running when he's right, which sadly is almost never.
Ramsey blowing smoke? HA!

Hasn't Ramsey already paid a good chunk of change for the pre-entry and entry fees? Why would they scratch now? I'm pretty sure Ramsey isn't in position to be throwing money around for pre-entries like the Sheikhs have the money to do. I could understand if there is an injury but if he's healthy I could not see them scratching him.

U really think so? Maybe if it was on dirt but I'm not so sure about on the grass. Of course, he's only tried it once and he won but he was allowed to set extremely slow fractions and run away on the lead that day. They went 49 2/5, 1:14 that day and he was in front by two around the track. I'd have to at least consider him because I know he can go faster and still hang on but it is going to be harder to beat these than it was to beat Dynever, Contante, Limehouse, and Second of June (the place and show horses in his last two wins).
