I think the fast-paced, dirt race question is a great one, but my real question is how will a horse who's run but five races since September fare running two races in two weeks and potentially three in five? His sire himself never started more than six times in a year, never ran on less than three weeks rest, and had a layoff of at least five months in each of his seasons of racing.

Please tell Steve Haskin not to propagate this "tight turn" myth. Mucho Macho Man is a graded stakes winner at Fair Grounds, which is a much tighter-turned track than Pimlico.

This from someone who took 4-1 on a bet that's being offered at more than 6-1. Do you have any other value plays for us today?

I'm not sure where you are going with this. I said 4-1 was a bad bet on AK in the TC. And I was planning to play against MMM. Losing a 4-1 shot will hurt the odds of the others. So, what exactly are you asking?

Baffert appeared to give a green light to Midnight Interlude for Preakness earlier on ATR..
