A question for all of you planning to bet Sidney's Candy

Assuming that he's going to rate is dangerous. Assuming that he's going to get the lead is even more dangerous. Assuming that he's going to be able to endure a very wide trip a la Big Brown and still be victorious is crazy in my opinion.

I find his ability to be effective from off the pace non-existent and think that everyone being dazzled by his fast 3rd quarter of the SA Derby is ignoring the fact that he walked on the lead prior to that point.

I'm a big boy and if I'm wrong it won't be the first time and it certainly won't be the last.

I thought you only eat crow if you're wrong , is what I was referring to. You would be correct if he loses.

LOL, didn't even realize that. Yes, I'll eat crow if he wins.

I don't care for him much myself but 10-1 will be double his track odds IMO.
If I can get another price like that on LAL I'll have $80 to throw elsewhere and at worst break even if either of the two faves win.

He has had two easy trips in a row and the biggest mystery to me is how he was able to get away with the slow fractions in the Felipe. The sprints that day were much faster than Lewis day when American Lion was pressing a 47 half mile. A month later AL isn't within a length in 48 2/5.
