That is true. I am glad we got through the 6th, Cappy, I really wanted to get Jello Shot through there. There was certainly some cause for pause with Andy going to Monte Carlo (I can't imagine how much he just crushed that exacta), but I really thought Jello Shot could beat these and at 12-1 he was worth using. The McLaughlin is the one who proved he didn't belong on the ticket and I am always dubious with horses with that kind of improvement from 1st to 2nd start, but he is so tough second and third start out.
This leg worries me, but I think Yario is an underlay and I don't like here. I am praying to get through, but even the 8th worries me a bit today as I think even the 5 and 6 have a shot to win there. The 5 in particular if he can find some of that back form and he certainly likes the track, will be an overlay, but it is still a tough race.
Herk is the smart one here who singled Monte Carlo and spread more in the last 3.
