With 12 days to go who...

[HaloWishingwell]

I like Andrew Luck to the Colts

[ranger5830]

Using, Union Rags and Daddy Nose Best

Tossing, Trinniberg (of course) Optimizer (if in) Daddy Long Legs, Creative Cause (hard to believe Harrington can get a horse to peak at 1 1/4 miles.)

Also, those of us who like DNB who think he'll be 20 or 25-1 are deluding ourselves, he's got wiseguy horse written all over him. I predict he goes off at 12-1 or less.

Can a horse who has shown early speed (Trinniberg) in the past, be dropped way back early and make one giant run the last 3-4 furloungs?

Everyone is expecting trinniberg to be sent early and die at the quarter pole, especially with other front runners in the field. Why wouldnt the trainer change tactics with him? The trainer is underrated and has done well with few horses he has had in his stable in the past.

have you seen what front runners do when you try to hold them up early?

early speed is that horses strong suit, his one talent, why would you take that one trick out of his bag? best to let him do his thing and hope for the best.

a jock will not win a battle of wills with a horse who wants to go. all that ends up if the jock tries that is a horse who is unhappy and perhaps using his strength to fight the jock rather than in his running.
