Monster Drive...

see i look at it alot different, i have never liked any given saturday, nothing at all against the horse, and if he wins saturday then my opinion will possibly change, but like you said he will be 1-5 and i just think that this ny bred is ready i have a funny feeling that this horse can win this race.

Go with it but I'll be very surpised if Any Given Saturday gets beat and even if he were to get beat there are some I'd take a shot on before Monster Drive.

Monster Drive is an inbred motha...

I'm sorry, but I just don't see him beating Any Given Saturday.

Anyone concerned about the gap in works? Is that normal for Mott? I can't see him being fit to go 8.5 furlongs off those works alone but obviously Mott may be the type that puts a lot of hard unpublished works into his horses.

he has been known to work a contender 7 days apart when pointing..to a race..

Those two are fine. It is the fact that after his last race on 12/15 they brought him back for one 3 furlong work on 1/18 and then he didn't work again until 2/5. Can you really get a horse ready to stretch out 2.5 furlongs off an 8 week layoff from two 5 furlongs works? I'd think you'd want at minimum three works in a row. If the horse had just raced on 1/18 I wouldn't be as concerned but it raises a big red flag for me unless Mott is known as someone that works horses hard in unpublished works.
