CH---
I agree with TGJB in that BR will run a good race. I do not think he will win, however. Outside of the patterns and numbers comes the conditioning factor.
This is not a mile on a speed favoring GP surface or a 1 1/8 on a souped up Aqueduct surface. This is a 1 1/4 on a demanding racetrack over that distance. Anyone who disagrees should note how superior horses like MEDAGLIA D'ORO, CORONADO's QUEST, and HOLY BULL barely held on in their TRAVERS wins.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
