Assuming it's the same Pro Ride surface as last year ... and assuming we are talking about a 10 furlong distance over the same Pro Ride as last year ... only a fool would think it's a 50/50 thing. More like 20/80

Factor in that Steve Asmussen trains her ... I'd MUCH rather have Johnny Velazquez, and his active 62 race losing streak, ride my turf router and take him 5 wide both turns than have Steve Asmussen train my synthetic horse.

Factor in that the field is likely to include Rail Trip .. a horse who went wire-to-wire with a triple digit Beyer in his 6f career debut.

All of a sudden a 20/80 thing starts looking like a 2/98 thing.
