Looking at this field, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Practical Move here instead of going in the Dirt Mile. Since the trainer may send Echo Zulu in the Sprint, that might push Gunite to the Dirt Mile. If that’s the case, Gunite and Cody’s Wish might be tougher to beat at 8f than anything that’s going in the Classic.

Your trolling is getting better and better! I actually thought this was serious for a minute. Fine work.

To be fair what you said made no sense. Not sure if you saw Gunite get beat fairly easily by the mighty Nimitz Class last time at 1/5 but I don’t think anyone is afraid of running against him going a two turn mile. I also don’t think Cody’s Wish is scaring anyone away. His last two were not his usual runs and again, two turns doesn’t seem like his best.

Practical Move actually has a shot in the dirt mile. He has no shot in the Classic.

I was being nice. What he posted was so bad it had to be trolling. I still believe it was...intentional or not.

No it isn’t fair to say. It was on a sloppy track and Gunite even got weight from the winner. He’s won all of his races around one turn and is winless in I think two starts around two turns. In no way do I think he’s a world champion. But I’m also not impressed with the horses pointing to the Classic. I don’t think he wins either race but one is worth $6 million and the other isn’t. I don’t see where they have much to lose trying the Classic. I think this is a perfect year for a long shot winner.

Unless there is a stallion deal orchestrated (is there) he has a race to lose which he will as well as not building towards a 4-year-old handicap stallion building campaign.

Charge it? Hasn't he reached his credit limit? If TAP gets that one back into the winner's circle, it will prove he is the most incredible trainer ever.
