"Wilko" moved up on dirt is the way I read that. I don't think theres anyway you can say the effort was out of line with his priors. He's always been a decent horse and they said he really seemed to like his dirt drills. He wouldn't be the first that woke up on a switch of surfaces. He could regress. I just don't know how you say that without numbers to do so on. I like him, I just don't like the circumstances. Different trainer, different jockey. This quarter crack business is probably the last straw to keep me from betting on him.
Every horse has a knock against him and a case can be made for some of them too. I'm too confused to bet this race. I might take a shot with a couple outside the big three if I could isolate one of the big three. The problem is, I can't isolate one of the three.
I'm gonna watch suspecting Wilko is the best, but I'm not willing to take 5-2 on that in the circumstances.
