Kev as far as rabbits, it's been part of the game forever, Damascus and Buckpasser both had one in the 67 Woodward against Dr. F ager. I actually feel bad for the horse more than anything.
Im sure it has Bill, but just seems chickensh*t to me. If your horse is good enough to win, he don't need it.

Yeah I hear you...

I was just browsing over the PP....two times that stick out to me is the Manhattan and the Secretariat...both times he was close to the front, both times the turf was yielding....should be firm Saturday. I could also be totally off base.

the yielding turf means nothing. He raced on a yielding turf at Colonial in the VA Derby last year and I watched him move like an absolute machine over that surface.

I have always thought and said he was too close to the pace (actually leading) way too early. Arlington turf traditionaly plays to mid pack to closers.
Look at his PP's and you can see his best races come from racing in 2nd or 3rd for most of the race.

All this rabbit talk brings to mind a MMSC thread. "Who's your favorite rabbit of all time?"

I'll go with Loach.

I hope so! But what a tough race. I cashed on Cacique in the Manhattan, not so confident he'll do it again this time around.
