The first try was at the distance was in '08 in his debut when he set the pace.

Then he had a wide trip.

Then he went to Tampa, opened up a huge lead, and dumped the jock.

Then he couldn't get out in the lane vs. a field with four next-out winners.
Hockey, No doubt that I'm reaching playing against Get Stormy today and you make good points, but the price doesn't justify his chances today IMO. I get the feeling he'll be less than 2-1 at post time. I didn't leave him off my ticket.

Get Stormy is 2-1 with 8 MTP and my top selection Grizzled Robert is a ice cold 21-1.
