The puzzle of the race seems to have been exposed by Jerry. But what to make of the works? I suppose the trainer switch @ SAR is also indicative of ???

Could it be the trainers are trying to teach the horse to run faster early. ala Seabiscuit vs War Admiral (anybody hearing sirens or bells). Or do the good works signal condition and readiness. I would have liked a good 5F in the w/o's.

PBD is the slow training track if memory serves me correctly?

I suppose an outfit like the Brooklyn Boys will influence the tote and actually that won't help me a a bit getting off this fence. Feeling a little more confident using him on top. C/B he negates the speed horses and makes it a two horse race?

Suddenly the Florida Derby is an interesting race and the defection of Battalion Runner (Pletcher) makes some sense.
