I'm a little interested (as I often am) in Voss' horse, even though he appears to be in lousy form, he has some competitive turf races on the flats.

i really tried to make and excuse to use this horse....but i couldn't. I got him forth behind the obvious contenders and slick wheelie for god sakes. I just haven't seen the horse moving forward at the end of his last couple races..he did only lose his last by 3/4 but i think he's more apt to have a similar race 2 back where he stalks and just fades.... why the #5 Beneath the Crown is only 8-1 ml is beyond me.... wide open finale

The race sets up way better for Eldoktori than it does for The Roundhouse. He's no great shakes, but I'd prefer a horse with some tactical speed to a plodder like TR or SoG, especially with the way these jocks let people go on turf.
