Oy vey....Somethings afoot here. None of the the top 5 jocks are sticking around for the nightcap and this is a logical contender to win. Or at least appears to be. It must be that scary Jockey/Trainer combo of R. Allen / R. Jeffries on the 9... they are a perfect 1 for 1 with 'ole Hit Another Gear getting it done on the 26th try yesterday...

The 9 is my very very reluctant top choice.

Mine too but there is a reason I went 7 deep

He's an alright horse. Vic is a friend (was actually a partner in Wicked Sweet with me) and I've seen the horse on the backside - He's rather slight for a HH and is fairly crooked, but racing sound and has a lot of heart. I think he has very little trouble with this bunch stretching out. Especially since the best they could draw for the 2 was CD, tells me consensus among the colony is that it's a one horse race.
Of course with that said, Tiggerv's point of view is spot on

You are going to talk me into singling him RBE

He should stretch out with no problem and this group is pretty close to awful. My only problem is that he has run the same exact race 3 times in a row (which might be enough to beat this group) and I don't know anything about the new trainer. If he improves any then he should win easy.
