If Flat Out doesn't go - it's a field of four and becomes a very attractive spot to run.

And it's not an attractive place to run with five horses, one of whom is coming off a five month layoff, preceded by a 19-month layoff? Bull. How many times are trainers, with horses good enough to be considered for a $300k G3, worried enough that several of them ask specifically about the plans of a horse who has done nothing but win a $50,000 3YO stake in January 2009 and a non-descript allowance event at the Fair Grounds in December 2010?
