Also, another consideration is that his assistant, who stays at AQU, Art Magnuson, tends to train much of Kiaran's stable at the start of their respective careers. Hence, one of his best may lurk in one of these MSW's up here. They ship back and forth all the time.
While I like Artie, and know how good he is, I'm sure if the Darley $800K horse was the s*#t, he would be with Kiaran is sunny F L A...

I'm tossing him and will use the Hushion and the Weaver and maybe save a little with the Dutrow...

Good Luck All...

As a sidenote, the 2 entry is currently 4th betting choice with the 3/5 in the Doubles...

From a handicapping standpoint you have to consider the Mc Laughlin's. They may be his 4th string and be able to beat these.
In terms of assessing this maiden in comparison to similar conditioned races in NY, SoCal and even New Orleans, the odds are that though a good horse can come from anyplace, the overall quality is not in NY in early February.

maybe hushions horse has some doubts, or else they don't know how to handicap

I think Sir John had a poor trip in the debut. Could be better than he showed.

tough to see these horses in the post parade very well

the 2 valid sum looks good but may need distance

the 4 should probably crush these horses, the race seems to be in ramon's control

I'm going with the final call being, "Much the Best, is just that. He wins by 4"...
