It's a long ride up and a short ride down.
What sucks is they are still foolishly considering Dubai with him if he does well here. Considering the competition here doing well seems quite likely but by no means suddenly means he's ready for Curlin.

They're also considering the Godolphin Mile as per the ERA site(s).

There is no real speed horse to go with Daaher so he will probably go to the lead and never look back. I was hoping an off track would help Attire and then I saw the only time Daaher ran on an off track he won by more than 13 lengths and posted 107 beyers.
Hopefully there will be some pace in the second group and maybe Attire can get for second.
Coming from the outside post there is no doubt he will give everyone a head start and Espinosa usually has him farther back than some other jockeys..

Well, at least you cut Tuffy back and found a field loaded with speed for Friday. He needs a win more than the big boy.
