A cogent and well reasoned response. I agree Shancelot can bounce substantially and still win. I’ll probably use him in a ticket but will lean more heavily on mind control and hog creek. I agree bouncing off a 7 furlong sprint and returning in a sprint is more taxing than next out routing where they don’t have to all out sprint. In my particular circumstance my filly ran a neg 4 1/2 had six weeks rest and ran a 2 turn mile on turf
I’ll spend additional time in the am and try to offer perspective on other races. Full disclosure I’m a better horseman than handicapper
