I think Einstein is much better than a Big Mac. Those things are gross and make you feel ill after eating one. If you eat enough of that crap, you end up smelling like the food. I get your point, but cant we upgrade Einstein to at the very least a Quiznos sub or a cup of coffee from Starbucks?

This may be the toughest race to handicap...ever.

I didn't compare him to a Big Mac...and actually Big Macs are quite good when eaten in moderation.

The Euros are probably better, and I'll go with the overlooked one, Stotsfold.

Well if Sea The Stars or Rip Van Winkle beat her, the public would still go WHO?

From a value standpoint, I love this pick. Of the Euro's he got the best draw and it is clear for everyone to see he wasn't far behind Cima and Conduit at Sandtown earlier this year.
