The thing is though, to this point, Golden Man is a one hit wonder. He's Buggles with "Video killed the radio star", or a slew of other one timers. Add to that the one timer was at Hallandale which didn't change a whole helluva lot with the new surface. In fact, the dang track got even more biased in some respects. Horses like it or they dont. (Granted Golden Man ran against the prevailing bias to some extent in that GP race.) Sure hes with the juicers and maybe thats enough to go with. The seven pounds is very tempting, but he ran light last too. Was it bounce that stopped him or better horses or a surface he didn't relish? Just can't get enthusiastic about a 5 horse field where three could win. Favoring High Limit, but hes gonna be 9-5 or less and thats too short. Theres better racing with very nice payout potential elsewhere on the card.
