So it's not possible that he just hated the wet grass, and the connections are wheeling him back because he's still ready to run a big race on firm ground? It's automatically him being "run into the ground"? Talk about overreacting..

I like him in this race. Obviously didn;t take a lot out of him in the Woodford and they think he's sitting on a big race. Why do you think he's not well suited?

He's run well over the May 5th, 2007 Churchill Downs yielding turf before? Not all wet grass is the same dude.

I hope Penna scratches Remarkable News because he is toast from out there. He ran well last time despite a bizzare ride from Douglas. I was really looking forward to betting him next out but I am very skepitical about this race.
Einstein is a toss out IMO.

The post won't hurt him. There's only one other speed and he should have no problem sitting outside Mending Fences. The distance is the bigger question and whether or not he is strong enough without the lead.
