Any worries about the trip for a closer in a 20 horse field? The last Remsen winner I bet in the Derby was Saarland. Similar style. It didn’t end well.

Great analogy… Mo is ridden by a jock who finds holes or creates them himself. This will be similar to Creator in the Belmont. For the $180,000 share he will get. He will figure out a trip.

You could be right. Saarland’s jock was a slow starter in triple crown races but found his footing eventually.

Good luck.

Irad definitely found the right trip last year when he broke from the rail on another Pletcher trainee.

I read yesterday that Asmussen is on a losing streak of 70+ races in the state of Kentucky, and I like Epicenter

He was 0 for Turfway, 0 for Keeneland, and so far is 0 for Churchill this meet. Kind of makes you wonder, eh?

Sometimes I hate all this damned information
