Doesn't change my opinion of Lawyer Ron.

I just think we could see two entirely different races now depending on what they do with Lawyer Ron early and neither of them look promising for Lawyer Ron. They can send him early in which case a likely duel with Hard Spun develops and it should set up perfectly for Street Sense. Or they can try and sit behind Hard Spun early which will put Any Given Saturday and Diamond Stripes a perfect position to box him in. If the stalkers are more concerned with keeping the Lawyer boxed in than what fractions Hard Spun is setting it could set up perfectly for Hard Spun to wire them. Worst case scenario for Lawyer Ron here, I think he'd be better off in the 14 post if they had a full field.
