Is Great Hunter a toss?

I am tossing him.

I have to agree with everyone. His only hope is that he gets lucky and finds an opening down the frontstretch to where he can glide over. That wont happen so I think he is a toss.

I love Great Hunter here, there is plenty of time to get over to the 4-5 path before the first turn. Id much rather be out there than anywhere near the rail.

With his style I don't think the 20-hole is a death sentence necessarily. . . I'll still use him underneath. . .

I agree. I think he has to be at least considered to fill out the bottom of exotics.

Because of the post I think he'll go off near 25 or 30-1... he's worth the play for sure.

Will "light" up the board either second or third...his win prospects dimmed with the post 20 draw.

doubt he'll see 30-1, might not even reach 20. would love to see it though.

I'm kinda confused here: how did he look so good? If Gomez splits horses rather than waiting for GH to pass and then swinging SAM P out, then GH really gets extended to win the race. THis is SAM P, 5th or 6th stock in the Pletcher barn.

I also particularly liked how HE QUIT when bothered in the stretch run of the BLuegrass while SS didn't.
