In terms of a piece at a big price, I agree that the post is problematical, but Logician may run a little better when he's on the outside, and to me his breeding is a slight plus in the context of this field. I think the fact that he is a Cal bred which was purchased for $520k at the Kee 2 yr old sale is a very slight plus, and despite an excellent trainer his jockey probably insures that the odds will be even more generous than the ML. The biggest problem I see, & the one which makes it very tough to be too agressive at the windows, is that there are so many other fast ones in the race. As one of my clever comrades keeps reminding me, the old trainers' adage that it makes a lot more sense to take a shot against one supposed stickout than 4 or 5 fast horses also applies to handicapping.
