Another Asmussen entrant. I rarely play horizontally so he's no concern. Since he's short-priced I'll probably pick a couple of longshots underneath and a couple of Euros or Samarais to beat him.

I checked last year's results from the Archives. Appleby had several winners. Including Big EVS in the Juvenile Turf Sprint. That one is in vs Cogburn this year. Asmussen had zero winners. It may be that Appleby just has more entries therefore more winners in big turf races than Asmussen

In this race, Asmussen has Irad up to mete out Cogburn's blazing early speed, and Appleby has Tom Marquand up whom I know nothing about. Irad's race to lose?
