This is also a MUCH tougher spot.
Agreed. . . can't decide if she's good enough.

She feels like a horse you almost hope gets beaten reasonably badly, with the expected no shot trip Nick described, and then she gets in a more reasonable spot upstate. At least we know 5 1/2 won't be a problem.

Andy or Nick have any thoughts on Cape Blanco? She was quite a 3 year old but hasn't shown much this year but would O'Brian ship unless she was working good?

Cape Blanco's not a "she". . . and will be a very big underlay.

Cape Blanco won pretty easily over the Michael Jordan with the Wizards Gio Ponti.

Is it time to start questioning the tactics on Gio Ponti?

The horse has more speed than that, which he's shown in his races at a mile, and it seems there is no thought about saving ground whatsoever in his races.

When was Gio Ponti ever "Michael Jordon with the Bulls" ??

Go back and look at the PP's of his wins ...

The best race of his life was when he beat the female Ventura - at dead even weights - by a nose going a mile.
