The guy who does the figs for TG and crew always gets the 1st and last word for me so far as I'm concerned - not that I don't have a different view at times - ( ie: if I feel a horse is strong to break down or have a physical problem during the running of a race based on pattern and at 3-5 ML , I don't care who agree's w / me or not ... I've had good teachers ) . Your Betting you own money - you've got to make the decision how .

I can see what you like about FS : good roi's for trainer angles + fair Sire profile for today , saves ground w/ an inside trip , gd price and ok TG number's . With that said - on the down side , 4 months off is a little more than a freshening and is of some question to me .

Bonfante on the other hand has a degree of established form - is off a possible near 02X and albiet as a 5 yo , should still run well today , a vg+ sire profile that is 4 pts faster on the sod than dirt + his turf TGI is considerably faster than FS's . Now that you've mentioned FS however , I'm going to have to throw him the box w / Bonfante too ...
