I posted in the Whitney thread that I was using only Wicked Strong and Liams Map. Being objective about it, I only used Wicked Strong because I love him. Like a lot of people do. On beyer and timeform he had to move way up. I thought Liams Map would control, and he did and ran huge. The problem now is what happens next? Would anyone be surprised at all if he never ran again? This was his only hard race, and he obviously has issues. Earlier in the year he was pointing to the Donn and mentioned for the Met Mile. He missed both of those races. I'm a huge fan of his, at this point off of that grueling performance yesterday nothing would surprise me with him moving forward. If he was mine and he was healthy, I would go Kelso and Breeders Cup Mile. Who knows?
On to something else..... I'm as big an AP as any. I love the horse and I love Baffert. I'm not sure AP beats Liams Map yesterday. A lot of people believe its clear cut, I don't think it is.
