How does Dancing Brave (before my time, so I don't know the whole story) losing 150 pounds not support the angle? It directly supports the notion that horses come out of the Arc at less than their best and are bet off of their peak performances.

I'm sure you'd agree that Workforce will be an underlay. He's just not the type of Euro that you would ever want here in the states. I'm not sure what to do with the fact that he's more lightly raced than most, though.
Another thing is that I probably won't be overly worried with trying to handicap the Turf, in the sense that I will just try to stay alive through the race in order to get live to a few horses not named Zenyatta in the Classic in the Pick-4. Therefore, I'm not going to let Workforce beat me, though I am sure I will use others.
