Mr. C.
I'll be playing several tickets which include Wicked Strong.
Since he appears to be a head case, I foresee myself holding my breath until he gets loaded in the gate.
The one shipper of JJ that I recall was Elusive Quality in the '09 Classic at Santa Anita.
I was in the walking ring watching the horse do a slow meltdown, and by the time they got ready to load the horse refused and after several minutes was scratched.
On Saturday WS faces a much larger crowd and a much longer viewing period than EQ did at the Breeders Cup. (Same dilemma for all 20 horses).
If the horse starts to meltdown and becomes hard to load, I give him zero chance to run well.
I'm playing 75% he melts down, and 25% he doesn't. Not a very strong endorsement, and thus, a smaller key wager on him is the smart move on my part.
Good luck to all.
