Is going from a 6f mdn win to a 9F NW1X Alw all that unusual??....I'd think that I'd rather see that as opposed to going from a mdn win directly into a Stakes race.

I realize we're talking about Understatement here, but I hate that post for Bordeaux Bandit... isn't doing him any favors at all.

I'll have to place a name bet on Cool Gator, especially since Prado is aboard and he's coming from an inside post.
