there are two trip horses here. It's all moot if Nicanor is allowed the lead into the first turn. This is one of the few track configurations where tactics come into play right away.

If jeremy rose can get that NY bred to break this time he can dictate the trips. It should force Nicanor and the 11 wide enough that someone else has a chance to win and the Jones horse gets kicked out of the exacta (and into a betback situation next time.)

FatMan's florida bred is one of the few that could possibly sit a good trip with Cohen and benefit from the 10 and 11 going wide , or even less likely do some herding into the first turn himself.

If they don't force nicanor way wide into the first turn he wins in a hand ride.

the 9 could possibly get 3rd or 4th at 50-1 probably, not playing superfectas here.

I don't know. I didn't see anything to give me hope for the future with him. It looked like he was walking home. I kept waiting for someone else to come in the picture but nobody did. It was a nice win against what he faced today but I don't see stakes wins in his future. He got away with 49 and change, 1:14 and change. The race was handed to him.

Actually it was 10 but hey, I'm sure they'll take it. http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/nican...g-fashion.aspx The Bloodhorse blog has a video of the race.
