I tend to agree with his logic about High Limit.
If High Limit couldn't cope with Spanish Chestnut going 9F, how is he going to cope with Spanish Chestnut, Going Wild, and BR going 10F with a much deeper and talented field taking pot shots late.
I happen to think HL ran a pretty good race in the BG (all things considered). I also think Frankel can get a little more out of him considering how lightly raced he is and this being 3rd off the layoff. I just think this is a terrible spot for him. He's either going to have to do something he's never done before (rate and pick up horses) or hope the other quality speeds get screwed at the start or don't go fast early.
