I don't think it's a stretch to think he wasn't fully cranked for the JCGC and I don't think it was his "A" race. He came home pretty quick and the goal was the Classic, not the JCGC.
If your going to go that route, the goal for QR has been the Classic since late 2009. His main goals had to be Met Mile and Classic. I guess we will see in 14 days, I know Im excited.

Instead of looking to argue, understand what I am saying. There isn't a whole lot separating them. I actually view QR as one of the contenders. Maybe the 10th furlong will be his undoing, but we'll see.

What I don't understand is how you can boldly claim to like one of them. Then say the other has no shot.

I understand, I dont like Blame much and wont be using. I really dont know why, I guess I think QR style and connections make him a bit more dangerous.

B is clearly the horse to beat given his multiple scores at CD.

Probably took some stamina away from that JCGC effort too … not to mention the fact that he trains on superior synthetic.

Should be a solid post-time fav … but probably won't be with Z in there.

Is this an attempt at humor?

Dead serious, Rock

B looks like the most likely winner at this point…
