Recapturetheglory is the surprise type. Had a nightmare trip last race, taking a major step up and will be very long on the board, I saw him train this morning and he looked awesome.

Also know that Roussell is in town, saw him bust a U-turn in the middle of Wilke Ave, right next to the court house, in a Cadillac Escalade, with HYBRID graphic'ed on the side of the truck, it is classic.

Don't disagree with you about him either. I'm not sold on the main contenders that much.

4. Recapturetheglory (U) (Presser) – The running line from his last reads “troubled trip,” and that may be an understatement. He encountered trouble on multiple occasions and was almost certainly the best in that
short field, but got out too late to do any damage. Don’t think he’s proven that he’s capable of handling this caliber of grass runner, but often it’s runners coming off tough trips like that last one who jump up with big
races. Not the most likely winner, but far from impossible – could be convinced.

Or..the Uchman version:

Former KY DErby 5th place finisher could get it done if likes lawn

I hated the horse last time, hated, but he proved me wrong from a liking the turf standpoint. He got out and he was a winner, by open lengths too

troubled trip in a 4 horse race? about to go watch the replay here shortly to see first hand

i challenge ANYONE to give me a single in the late PK4 sequence.

the only thing i can come up with is Classify in the Pink Ribbon, but in reality i think the race is wide open
