I would really like to see a different rider though. I think Albarado's first instinct with this horse is to take back. With the work this morning I hope Dan gives instructions to let him lay closer to the pace.

For a dead closer to work 1:10 and change is amazing, and on top of that..the track was not that fast this morning judging by other works...WOW..

My view on this is that I will now use Steppenwolfer more in my EXs and TRIs, but a part of me wonders what it may take out of him because I am still not a huge believer in the horse....I still think Bluegrass Cat is a more talented animal and deserves the best look, and Deputy Glitters is a live longshot...but none-the-less, that is an impressive move by Steppenwolfer - believe me...WOW!

I do agree with you on bluegrass cat, but I am a little doughtfull on DG as I see him fading, I will use hime though because I know you know what the hell yer talking about. Does it change the way Albarado rides Steppen though. Also did you handicap churchill as a wet track tomorrow or is it expected to dry out.

I think CD will be fast and good tomorrow and I like Purim, Joint Effort, Lost in the Fog/Yes Yes Yes/Cougar Cat, Razor/Atticus Kristy in the CD Pick 4.

Won't pay anything unless you can beat the "Fog"....
