I realize Shaman Ghost is the horse to beat by alot. But he looks to be about 2-5. I know it was a slow pace last time and he didn't have the best trip and overcame it all. He is rock solid, but at 2-5 isn't he worth trying to beat. Matt King Coal was very good early on in his career and appears to be really moving forward. I could see a Seymourdini like performance out of him on Saturday. Especially with his obvious tactical advantage.

I always thought Matt for the better of the two anyways. She is a fantastic trainer

Although I'm a BIG fan of Mind Your Biscuits, I wonder how he'll react from the Dubai trip....... I think Ticonderoga will just LOVE the distance & at 15-1 is a HUGE way to finish off the pick 5 sequence!

I think Unified is tough in this spot and trip which may be right outside a slow pace.
