pg,
i agree with almost all of your assessments on eddington, except for your opinions on henning. the move to run the horse in the gothem was a poor decision. cutting back to 1m, and using prado, a jockey who tends to rate horses a bit more than most, was setting the horse up for a loss. i thought the horse would lose that race, as i posted before the race (and i also think the horse is one of the top 2 three yr olds). his overall plan left the horse needing to come in first or second in one of the year's toughest preps in order to get into the derby. as we all know, anything can happen in one horse race (including a wide trip). henning blew it.
