Ctc,

Oh Chuckles....we disected that two race three race thing a lot last week.There are many converts to the two race prep thing. I promise I will look at all horses entered 2 or 3 preps and bet on the individual circumstances.

Anyway lets face it, for the derby itself 3 preps seems logical for the added distance and conditioning it will take to win @ 10F, as each is doing it for the first time.

Anyway, I too think that AOT is a little light on the breeding and has not beaten anything of real quality so far, all on the inner tube, but Ernie has been a major conrtibutor and risk taker in the moder era. Hell he even employed Jennifer Hat Rack.

Good luck to you Ernie, do right by this horse.
