The Lumber Guy got a loose lead in the Wood Memorial and turned in a 14 second final 1/8th.

What is it with connections trying to ruin good sprinters in Triple Crown races?

I'd love to see The Lumber Guy at a mile.

TC races make otherwise slamdunk decisions into real headscratchers.

If The Lumber Guy doesn't get early pressure -- his limit is a mile. However, I think his best game is probably 6.5 furlongs.

Hansen should go to Hollywood Park. First off, they'd probably let the owner paint the horse's tail, especially turqoise and pink so they can promote Zenyatta some more. Secondly, he could be as devastating as Old Trieste in races like the Affirmed and the Swaps.

Could you imagine Hansen in a 5-horse Grade 3 going 8.5f at that track?

Liaison and Rousing Sermon can round out the tri.

[Calzone Lord]

Agree on all counts.

Hansen is off the triple crown. He is fine physically..but hes not running in the Preakness and Belmont.

According to Maker maybe.

That owner seems like the type of person who can change his mind on a whim.

Am I misremembering something? Didn't Bernardini win the Preakness the year Barbaro was injured? I was thinking he was a new shooter.

Sorry, guess I should have read all of the comments.

The Lumber Guy opts for Peter Pan

A rare burst of sanity in this game--so I guess it is possible.
