The fact that he hasn't run a winning race at 10f, maybe? That he bypassed a chance to try 10f against a decent field to go 9f against allowance horses and didn't beat them very impressively? That he was getting weight from Curlin in the Haskell?

Not saying that I feel this way, just imagining what might be said.

Any Given Saturday was so sharp for the Haskell there's no way Curlin was beating him that day. As for his 10f record, he tried that once and had the 18 hole. I'd hardly say the evidence is against him at this point.

in the arlington million a few years ago, a top euro ran even tho it wasn't his best distance. yet he was felt to be so much better then the field, there was no doubt he'd win.
he didn't win. finished fourth.

ground and distance matters a great deal with turfers. dylan thomas is good, but they would have to have doubts. go in with too little respect for the competition, and you may end up wishing you hadn't been so confident in your own chances. i wouldn't be surprised at all if he scratched.
