What about Steppingwolfer

Its where he has spent the majority of his career. Its where he trained last summer and fall. has been back since after the Derby. hes a nice horse. Obvously the lack of speed that he has has hurt him, but hes no hanger. I saw him battle hard twice to win races narrowly that he easily could have lost.
he was my key underneath in the Derby and instantly became one of my favorite horses of all time. That was the biggest trifecta that i have ever hit.
He likes the surface and his sheet numbers are solid as a rock. Hes my best in the race to hit the hoard.

I wish whoever started this thread would change the title and spell the horse's goddamn name correctly.

It is killing me for sure.

yaeh yaeh I tried. My bad...

[Scurlogue Champ]

haha, I appreciate it toga. no worries

I would really like to see a different rider though. I think Albarado's first instinct with this horse is to take back. With the work this morning I hope Dan gives instructions to let him lay closer to the pace.

I wish they would put Bejarano on him.

Yeah he might be a better fit, he's riding damn good.

For a dead closer to work 1:10 and change is amazing, and on top of that..the track was not that fast this morning judging by other works...WOW..

My view on this is that I will now use Steppenwolfer more in my EXs and TRIs, but a part of me wonders what it may take out of him because I am still not a huge believer in the horse....I still think Bluegrass Cat is a more talented animal and deserves the best look, and Deputy Glitters is a live longshot...but none-the-less, that is an impressive move by Steppenwolfer - believe me...WOW!

I do agree with you on bluegrass cat, but I am a little doughtfull on DG as I see him fading, I will use hime though because I know you know what the hell yer talking about. Does it change the way Albarado rides Steppen though. Also did you handicap churchill as a wet track tomorrow or is it expected to dry out.

I think CD will be fast and good tomorrow and I like Purim, Joint Effort, Lost in the Fog/Yes Yes Yes/Cougar Cat, Razor/Atticus Kristy in the CD Pick 4.

Won't pay anything unless you can beat the "Fog"....
