I'm going with Send it In because 10f is much more commonly run than 12f, plus I thought, even with the perceived anti rail bias and slow pace, Tu Brutus was ridden weirdly.

This question should apply to Non Baffert trained horses only.

One could argue he has three of the top three. Speaking of arguing, why are you more timid than usual (multiple uses of arguably) today?

Not totally sold on Cupid yet. But he did run huge last time. At this point i would still rate Gun Runner ahead of him.

They seem to be treating Gunrunner like the second coming now.

I agree, though this field is a bit trash so he does not have to run all that well to win.

What did they find? Obviously I was being facetious about him being the second best older horse, but he was kind of a neat horse to watch.
