Plus, it is not as though I am advocating things like the first time starter in the Arkansas Derby, or even every 50-1 or higher filler running in races. I think my actual point is fairly clear, unless someone is trying to cleverly attempt to put words in my mouth, and it has a lot to do with horses like Hard Spun and not no shotters like Time Squared.....who I couldn't care less about whether he is running or not. I just don't recommend betting him. Surely you have heard people at the racetrack say " that horse does not belong with these." or some such comments. Do you always take that to mean the person is against them being in the race?

I thought you were inferring he shouldnt be running, and that it was irresponsible to run him there and that it was just Derby fever. That is why I asked. I am not putting words in your mouth, if that comment was directed at me.

I agree with you and all others on this issue, he has not shot.

Leaning toward Street Sense at this point.

Hunter's been away for six weeks now, which could give SS a slight edge in this spot IF he's fully recovered from the Tampa race as his training seemed to suggest. Also, Hunter's clearly not unbeatable with four runner-up finishes in eight starts.

I'm going to watch how the poly runs on Saturday, but I don't think it's impossible for Teuflesberg to wire this field if speed is holding.

Speed isn't holding, and while he does have a pace advantage, I highly doubt Dominican will let him too far out of his sights.
