hoof = Jones' pride.

Maybe a horse like Terrain might be tempted to skip the Lone Star race now and wait a week?

This One's For Phil would be very dangerous in the Preakness now that Dominguez has shown he can settle him to a crawl early on.

I think he is heading towards the Met Mile. Dutrow feels he is at his best as a one run from off the pace type horse, in a middle distance. The Preakness may be too far for him.

The way he has settled in his last two - the distance won't be a problem at all.

But if allowed to use his natural speed - a mile is probably his best distance.

I agree and cant wait to bet him in this race. Never been a fan of this horse, but hes got mad talent and Dutrow loves the Met Mile.
