Jimbo, I read what the individual at Churchill supposedly said. I like to bet Churchill because I have a feel for it. But I have to say this: Outside of Texas the worst State for credibility in racing is Kentucky. I don't trust what that guy said and don't know why he said it. Either he didn't know what he's talking about or he perceived the question as a threat and answered it in a manner he thought was the best way to go. Typically, Churchill is tight for Derby Day. It was certainly very fast the year Monarchos won the Derby. Most other times of the year I believe Churchill plays slower.
