MO--


I'd be very suprised if PRIVATE VOW goes to the Derby. If they want to get ambitious, they should wait for Pimlico. Otherwise, I'd cut back and go in the 1 turn Withers.

My own personal question-marks.


1. Can SWEETNORTHERNSAINT handle the pace pressure he will surely face in Louisville and still finish strongly?

2. How long can BROTHER DEREK stay restrained?

3. When does POINT DETERMINED figure out you also have to run around turns?

4. Does Todd Pletcher really have anything going to Louisville this year?

5. Is the 2006 Baffert the 2005 Zito?

6. Who is ready to pop a lifetime best figure??




Good Luck,
Joe B.
