besides, isn't big brown running saturday? is he suddenly slower? should i ignore the fact that smooth air is further back the longer the distance becomes when he is facing his longest race yet?

Why do my PP's have Big Brown only winning by 5 and not 8?
Smooth Air ran a faster speed figure going 1 1/8th than he did going 7f.
in 2001 Congaree won the Wood Memorial by what? 2-3 lengths in front of Monarchos. In some ways Smooth Air reminds me of Monarchos.
I am not betting Smooth Air because he was/is sick. Not because of the Derby distance or the number of lengths he was beat by Big Brown.
....on a different note.. why do some want to include Court Vision and not Tale of Ekati?
