He was pushing him out of the gate, and around the first turn, till he realized he wasn't getting the lead from the 1, which I guess is all I was asking for. I agree he is very passive, which doesn't work on the inner- I think it's due to riding at Calder where passive is often better than agressive. I certainly think he's more talented than his older brother.

I think City Attraction is the one to avoid in here at 8/5. It's almost certain he gets hung 3 wide. I think if you cover the the inside 2 spots you've got the race locked up. Joey P is certainly eligible, and there was nothing wrong with his Fall Highweight effort, but he's not proven over the wet and again, probably won't get an adventageous trip.
