i think i will take a shot with GH. i don't know how far he can run, but with blinkers on, i have to imagine they will be gunning from the start. with the home court advantage, i'm hoping he gets a bit brave, and never stops. i will go with alke as well. pletcher has the quarter horse genes (father was in the game), he might have an advantage over the other US trainers when preparing a horse to run without ever taking a turn. good luck everyone !!!
