I'm not saying he won't handle the surface.....but I'm shocked that anybody would say he is certain to after today's stroll.

Even with his string of wins wont POTN be under bet? I know that sounds crazy but he has slow syn figures that the public wont understand, has never run on dirt, and will be the subject of a drumbeat of articles saying how bad a bet he is. I would imagine he is around 6/1, now whether thats fair is subjective but I have seen this play out before.
