Does Assmussen ever use Borel? Borel may not have his choice of horses.

Two massive egos. They may think they can win with anybody aboard.

Sure they can, but as Hoss says, why change anything?

I'm just saying that they have such egos, Bridgmohan (who must have photos of Assmussen) may be aboard.

So who thinks she needs to be in the Preakness?

I wouldn't run her in the preakness. I'd save her for the Belmont and let her work 'em real good.

Apparently Jess Jackson and Steve Assmussen.

she doesnt need to be anywhere


but if she vetted out great and came out of the Oaks great why not??? Doesnt that track set up perfect for her running style??

I'd win the Preakness... take a break and win the Test @ 7 furlongs and then the Travers.

Doubt thats ever been done before!!!

I feel for Wiggins and Borel, a huge career and financial hit for them if they lose her.
