Well shes dead fit off that race and Ricky doesn't train them hard anyway, especially off a race like that. I can tell you this, he will NOT run a horse in a stakes race that he feels is not ready to fire their best shot, he will scratch them instead. Not much expected in the Bama. Looks like wlal and Shugs horse again. I doubt that teammate or sugar shake will try it after their last races. Perhaps a Test runner or two or three may try the Alabama if they see a small weak field. Hard to come back that quick though since they moved the Test to the 2nd weekend. Makes it only two weeks rest to the Bama and thats hard to do. Just have to wait and see.
