Private Vow, wasn't he a G1 winner?

Oh, we can't count that, because that was some other time and doesn't fit the arguement...

Strong Contender had a brutal trip in the Haskell. Watch the replay. All his naysayers said he could only win going one turn, that he was a very bad 0 for 2 going 2 turns so he was a toss out yesterday. LOL! Tossout. This horse has a legit chance if there is a wicked pace in the Classic.

I agree, and he's only a length better than LR yesterday, but LR wouldn't have a shot?

Not with the race set up he doesnt have a shot. LR needs to be at or near the front and he isnt going to get there with the speed thats loaded for the classic. Unless you think he will last in a dual with Bernardini, discreet or lava man. Do you really think that?

A horse with tactical speed like SC has a much better shot.

Congrats on having SC yesterday Gander. I just went back and watched the replay of the Haskell. I should have watched it before the Super Derby yesterday. You were right, SC's trip was brutal especially in the first half of the race. SC almost got up for second in a race that most horses would have never had a chance in after a trip like that...
