Actually of the three, I'd look to take a small shot at beating Strong Contender out of third. He's picking up more weight than hes run effectively with at a track configuration he's not handled very well. I think he's a seven furlong/one turn mile horse. The Dwyer race was very slow on a slow variant, but was the track as slow as Tgraph has apparently factored it? Strong Contender ran a slow Haskell on a very quick strip and got beat by Praying for Cash. It all depends upon how much stock one places in his "One Time". If you value it highly you're likely thinking that after the race he'll be a "Two Timer".

Also, though it may not be his doing, couldn't help but take note that Prado is off Strong Contender and in N.Y. to ride Magical Ride in the Matron and CP West in the Futurity
