I thought Trappe Shot was going to cut back.

NO decision yet; McLaughlin doesn't seem overly keen on taking on Discreetly Mine.........at least that's basically what he said.

I assume Miner's Reserve would go as well, but still nothing from Nick yet.

I hope they bet D Mine off the board in the King's Bishop based on his 6.5f time and Beyer.
God I hope Jerkens enters Afleet Express.
I will bet him HEAVY...

If Zito has a rabbit for Ice Box - now is the time to use it.

Depends on whether NYRA wants the track to play fair or not. I'm thinkin', after the Whitney DEBACLE, they're likely to go back to what 'works': SPEED FAVORING.

Very fast dirt tracks - in general - are among the most deep closer friendly kind of tracks - and you see more total pace meltdown on those kind of tracks than any other.

If the track is souped up and playing very fast - it would likely only help a deep closer like Ice Box.

The slower and more tiring tracks typically favor speed more because jockeys tend to ride them much less aggressively. The opposite happens in souped up dirt tracks.

The most inside-speed biased track in the country right now is at Presque Isle. That place makes the old Keeneland dirt track look like a ridiculously fair race track.

didn't he try to do the same thing with fly down?

damn rabbit almost won the race while fly down was mia

Miner's Reserve was certainly not being used as a rabbit in the Jim Dandy. He's got a different owner than Fly Down - and he was in there to win the race.
