Hull's out, opting for Woody Stephens.

Arrggh.

Probably not a terrible idea though. I want to see him go two turns in a bad way.

I think it's a good decision but it is worth noting that the Woody Stephens has a chance to be very salty. I was looking at the Preakness field for the first time last night and the first thing I thought when looking at Hull is that they have time to stretch him out and need not hurry.

I also like Big Drama and Hull not being in the race will help his chances.

I think you're right about them having time -- they can find a good spot for him, and though I'm excited for him to stretch out, I'm perfectly happy with them finding something a little easier to see what he's made of around two turns. Would've loved the LS Derby for him, but I'm glad they're finding the spot they want with him.

I'm disappointed. I think he's just OK at best... Would have liked to have seen him in there to draw dough.

Completely agree , not to mention he may have softened the favorite a little on the front end.
