That's awesome handicapping but very much reading between the lines; just doesn't really have ANYTHING to do with the sheets. He was one of the slowest horses in the race, only the 5 & 6 were slower, and so he breaks the track record! Yeah that makes sense. So he went from a 4 to like a negative 4. Not exactly predictable. The only idea I had is I think all these 3 year olds stink, and I was looking for a new face. Unfortunately, I got suckered in the direction of the Chad Brown runners and Pletcher's giant rat Destin (hardly a new face but one I thought would stay the distance for sure) who looked like he sweat 100 gallons of water before the race but I used him anyway. And Mike Smith deserves praise for a heads up ride. Everybody grabbed so he took the initiative. You wouldn't be touting the sheets for that one though--just your good old fashioned skills and intuition which I checked with my pork pie hat at the door.
