Ill go ahead and post this again. Ill never understand it. A big weekend like this and people want to argue about NYRA and other crap rather then discuss the actual races.
Ill add that Im going to play Eddie K, and back up with Lukas. Try to get through this 8th with just 11,12.

Is Battle Hardened a live price or a trap in the 8th? He is 15-1ML, but feels like he will be around 6-1 at post time. Eddie K has great stats first time turf and dirt to turf. There is no speed in this race at all. He figures to be right up on the lead. Looking for some opinions on this race and this horse.

Liaison doesn't stink and anyone who thinks he didn't run well in the Jim Dandy wasn't paying attention.

I get the wide trip. I see it. But is it not a coincidence that this horse went way off form when he started running on real dirt? Then he gets back to Hollywood and runs 2 career tops, back to back. Then comes here and while he had a trip just seems slow again and makes no impact. Anyone who said LiaIson is a huge Hollywood horse for course would not be wrong.

He would have to be possessed by the ghost of Secretariat to even have a chance against the best older horses and the HOTY title.

His two dirt races were FAR from ideal trips, and he still ran ok.
