Master of Hounds has as good a shot as anyone. The one thing about him is he should like the distance.

Amazingly, all the "experts" on this board haven't attacked you for that with inane comments about your handicapping ability!

The distance in the pedigree isn't the worry, its the ability to run on dirt. Save me the Lemon Drop Kid isolated example from Kingmambo. LDK had Slew on the bottom while MOH has turf and more turf. I realize this guy has some inherent class, but the Coolmore turf sires haven't translated to American dirt in very many cases.

Add to that, one prep (albeit long) and questionable talent to begin with....no thanks. He'll be 20-1 when he should be twice that.
