Default Of course Arrogate on top, but who's ranked second ?
Is it:
Gun Runner(returning @ Churchill).....?
Mor Spirit......up the charts with a bullet ?
I'm a big Gun Runner fan,but Mor Spirit is on a top notch heater.
Edge to Mor Spirit.........I think.

At this point I think it is Gun Runner or Shaman Ghost. Mor Spirit will have to prove himself beyond a mile and a sixteenth to earn that spot.

Yup. The super brilliant types seem to always have abbreviated careers, if not lives.

Hopefully we get to find out if that is true in the Whitney and/or Woodward.

I'm going with Send it In because 10f is much more commonly run than 12f, plus I thought, even with the perceived anti rail bias and slow pace, Tu Brutus was ridden weirdly.

My understanding is that Send It In is done racing.

This question should apply to Non Baffert trained horses only.

Why? He arguably has 3 of the top 5 handicap horses in the country.

One could argue he has three of the top three. Speaking of arguing, why are you more timid than usual (multiple uses of arguably) today?

What did they find? Obviously I was being facetious about him being the second best older horse, but he was kind of a neat horse to watch.

Not totally sold on Cupid yet. But he did run huge last time. At this point i would still rate Gun Runner ahead of him.
