I find it extremely hard to believe that more than 95% of the people on this board would skip the race if they had a chance to run. It's easy when you're behind a keyboard, but if you owned one of these horses, it's not as easy to type "pass."
I agree 100%...look at Win Willy's connections. I am sure alot of people wondered why he was in the Rebel to begin with...Mac took a shot and it paid off. Now he has a shot of a lifetime if he does run. I have to believe that number would be 100% that wouldn't pass up the opportunity to run.
