It won't matter b/c he isn't getting a work over Churchill. A gallop or so, and if they look nice it could spring some more chatter. I think that bandwagon is plenty full already. I put him as #1 because it's only logical. He's the horse to beat or play against, and play against I will.

This is a constant weakness for me too.

Hard not to like the fastest horse, but with so many need the lead types in the race, it's beginning to look like a "wicked strong" pace might set up for the race?

that's my concern, that the pace will be too hot. but i'm thinking he might well lay off. i don't think he has to have the lead, but he does need to break well.
i'll wait til pp's are drawn before i really get down to who will get played. still too soon to make a final decision.

may well end up setting up perfectly for wicked strong.

[Alabama Stakes]

Chrome breaks a step slow. I'm sure the 2 riders next to him will close that hole and he could get freight trained. He might also be Point Given and would need a real hatchet job to lose, a la Gary Stevens on the Point

[dballard125]

With Chitu now out...revised.

1) Chrome
2) Danza
3) Samraat
4) Wicked Strong
5) General A-Rod

Good point, CC and Espinoza will have 19 other jockeys keeping their eyes on them. Race riding is a given if he doesn't break on top.
