we are on the same page on this one

the fact that his connections didn't just skip the Ark Derby and point right for the Belmont after the Sunland Derby intuigues me

these are some of the smartest people in the game between the owners and trainer and they aren't wrong that often

they also don't need to run in the horse in derby just for the sake of having the experience (like some people...lol).

the fact that they are giving him another shot to make the derby and the fact that he broke last by a bunch in the Sunland Derby and still ran an ok race makes me want to give him a chance this weekend

now, JB will tell you that I am seeing what I want to see about this horse beacause I have liked him since January but he can't deny how smart the connections are (or he would get in trouble since he's good friends with them so I have that going for my argument!)
