Think the price will be there to take the shot on IH getting back to it, the way people are talking up about HOP's 2nd placing, seems much less likely.
BB all but said in the days leading up to it that he was just trying to get the bounce out of the way (which naturally stopped me from playing the obvious cold exacta...there's probably a lesson in there about giving trainer talk too much credence) but just because he did just that doesn't mean he gets to go back to his top next out. Especially when it's 5th race in 13 weeks (and that's not even counting his debut in early Jan)...actually let's just stop right there...holy smokes. I had to go back to look that up. Does anyone else think this is kind of insane? 5 races...in just 13 weeks! One race ever 2.6 weeks.
This, on racing's biggest day, with the video, and PETA, and history as well...2008...
