I like several numbers in this race and in order of appreciation.
a. [b]20[/b] twenty to one is the m/l price of War Story. My argument is subjective, Although he won his first two races, I make him a late developer and I saw his finish in the WVD a similar tip off as was Keen Ice's Haskell finish I see him as improving plus a new trainer not unfamiliar with "move up" venues.
b. [b]2[/b] War Story has beaten Keen Ice twice and was liked by many early from this years discounted FG crop. Completely irrelevant to math players but best I could come up with late night for #2.
c. [b]3[/b] this is his 3rd race off his KD clunker he consistently runs in the top 3 in large part because of his running style. He may not catch the winner or figure in the horizontals - hey, sometimes we have to take what we can get.
I also consider Hollendorfer's decision to run Iron Fist back puzzling. [b]IF[/b] made what looked to be a winning move @ Mnr and flattened out noticeable. After all he is one of a select few to have beaten American Pharoah. Yes meaningless, other than to tip much was expected of him early and he c/b another late developer. Alas, the Smith/Hollendorfer discount is deep.
