If Justify has any traffic issues I believe Smith will go at least 8 wide turning for home, no way he goes ala Bo-rail

Could not agree more. That’s the stuff that scares me. He’ll go path-of-least-resistance at all costs.

Got to wait for the post positions before can even think about this. I hope Justify and Audible take a lot of money.

Read this but don't know if its true. "No Storm Cat sire line has ever won the KD. They're 0 for 51 in the KD."
He's a big strong great looking horse but the distance gets to him? Won't be the first horse that's a monster up to 1 1/8 but then ??

A few years ago the stat was that Storm Cat anywhere in the pedigree was 0 for 40 something, then there were back to back winners in Pharoah and Nyquist (both had Storm Cat on the dam side). Now the stat has become 0 for 51 on the sire line, but he's had a few run second in the Derby.
