be very careful with that approach. all trainers say the horses are doing well leading up to the kd, and all horses look like a million bucks. but only one of them can win.

the odds will not justify betting pioneer.

as for beating papa clem, people are reading too much into papas last win. yeah, he won the ark derby-someone had to tho. i don't like the race, or who was in it. i thought all things considered that old fashioned ran the best race. clem was all out to beat a horse that set a pretty good pace, and broke a knee. that didn't impress me at all.
