Heck, the JCGC could be a nice race. If AGS goes in the JCGC, I wonder where Lawyer Ron will race next?

Much as it pains me to say it, the JCGC has really turned into a pretty lousy race over the last few years with every good horse trying to avoid each other prior to the BC. Last year it was Bernie against 4 Grade 2 and 3 horses. Yawn. I doubt the Robot wants to run AGS 10 furlongs until they have to. Ditto for Lawyer Ron. I would think LR's next race will be the Woodward, the Saturday before Labor Day.

I think Lawyer Ron will most likely stay in the 8.5 - 9f range, with an eye on the 1m70yd BC race this November.
I think AGS has more of a future at 10f than Lawyer Ron, so the JCGC makes sense for him. AGS's running style and his dam-side pedigree (AP Indy, Spectacular Bid etc.) suggest that despite his fairly flat performance at 10f in May, he may be effective at that distance going forward.
