I'm just seeing Union Rags, who at the end of the day is still sitting on Beyers in the mid-90's. Thorograph had him a lot faster than Beyer last year, but by either measure he isn't showing development this year.

I get the Looking at Lucky comparison, however, he overcame trouble to win the Rebel signaling that he was improving. Then he catches the rail in the slop at KY, and ended up with a trip that made Rags trip look like a stroll in the pasture. I guess we'll know more from Rags in a few weeks, but I'm not seeing it.

when Liason breaking from the 20 hole finishes ahead of UR.....whether you wanna talk trip or not, his lack of tactical speed and his uncanny ability to find trouble is doing him in....we'll see if a jock change can help but I just don't think this horse is fast or athletic enough to get in the clear and do any kind of running
