Was there any reason at all for Mckee to keep banging away on Lawyer Ron in the stretch yesterday?No there wasn't.I think the whole deal for Holthus is to win these Oaklawn races and worry about the Derby later.

Nice change in tactics yesterday for LR due to the rail being bad and Holthus wanting Mckee to get off the inside and into the 3 or 4 path where it was best.That versatility is useful in a race like the derby,but only if LR isn't cooked by May and I'm guessing he will be.
