Default Jcgc

Ok, after getting myself over the fact that the JCGC had only 4 horses and was unbettable I looked at it firmly last night because it ends the pick-6 with the carryover.
I'm not so sure that Dylan Thomas doesn't have some degree of a chance here. Granted its not a big chance, but i will say hes the only one who can beat Bern.
Wanderin Boy is a nice horse, and he will make the lead no doubt, but at some point Bernadini will engage him and they will hook up or Bern will go by.
Andromeda simply comes from too far out if it and I can't see him winning.
But Dylan is interesting. I was aware of who he was and what he was doing but the more I hear from teh usually reserved O'Brien the less I think he was sent here only to try and beat the archrival Sheikh's horse and moreso because they honestly think he can succeed on dirt. I know its a semantical difference but I still think its relevant.
He adds lasix, and being a grand son of Danzig gives him some hope of accepting the dirt. He also adds Johnny V. Hes won the Irish Derby and The Irish Champion Stakes and was beaten only a head in the Epsom Derby. Hes not just some bum that someone invented to try and come over.
I think hes worth covering on a saver ticket in the pik-3 and pik-4 and pik-6 if you can afford it.
I'd still like to see Bernadini get looked in the eye, just once.
