Four weeks out, one prep to go?

Yesterday defined confusion to say the least. I have to honestly say of what I've seen so far there is NOT a horse with a pattern I like at all heading to Louisville.

Next week can only add to the pot. What if Classic Empire decides to run and moves back to his 2 yr old number? Could you really trust this nut case in front of 150,000 people? Two races in 6 months? I don't have Untrapped's or Petrov's sheet in front of me but from memory both have a right to move forward I guess.

A group of questions with only assertions, guess work and maybe some voodoo for answers. Too slow, Too much development from 2 yr old tops, Too big a top, a gut wrenching race or a bounce in their final prep. The one common theme is all are consistently inconsistent!!!!

Looks like a Giacomo type year and a good race for a 7 horse super box to me.

Good luck,

Frank D.
