No, the pace scenerio is totally against him and the horse should bounce.

I wonder what Sadler meant when he said, (paraphrasing) "well we asked for the lead" did he not like that Jon did quick early fractions. It seemed like that was the difference.

I don't know him but I've been a fan of his since he was at Hoosier. I thought when Pat Day retired Jon would be the man at Churchill. I'll be cheering for him to make it.

I was hoping to leave this alone, but as you have pointed out, Court did exactly what Sadler wanted him to do. And, in the Derby, it will be to make sure he gets the lead and falls on the sword for The Craig Family Trust.
