I thought Power Choice looked better. At the weights (114 vs. up to 122 for a lot of the other contenders), Power Choice's 5-1/2 top could have taken it. As I recall there were only two (Mott's horse and Thunder Blitz) in there that were faster, and a bunch that were about that level. The winner was first time U.S. (pretty sure on this), and I included him in my gimmicks.

Sarava had never run a number close to the top contenders in the Belmont. Of course, hindsight being 20/20, good 3yos are capable of moving up dramatically.

I'm sure this is a waste of time, as you have obviously prepared some diatribe that you are waiting to break out for our benefit. I can't wait. HP
