It is strange, especially after looking the PP's for this race. It is completely void of speed.

Didn't Pletcher use a rabbit for English Channel last year on the belief that he didn't like being on the lead? Perhaps they thought a rabbit would help EC just as much as BTN.

Motion has said Shake the Bank is done with that. He is running on his own now...said he deserves the chance. Finished 1st or 2nd his last race and almost finished ahead of BTN in the Woodforde as well.

Not hatin, it looks like Johnny finally figured it out to put this friggin horse RIGHT behind someone and he will settle, should him light and he wants to go.

That being said, I think Honey Ryder is going to win the Beverly D, and I like English Channel this year, but I am not off that, no idea who I like now

Its clear he runs BEST when just off the lead to the outside. He has always been rank early in his races, but today more so than usual.

Clearly not that great of a field today, but you can only race against who shows up. Glad to see him add another Grade 1 to the resume'.

11 wins from 20 starts with in excess of $3.2 million in earnings.

The how so is the head loses the EC has had when he carried more weight than the winner.

I would have to look at the form. Alot of handicappers don't consider weight when the dope out a race, but I am of the old school that thinks a race over 1 1/8 and over 121lbs that each pound over 121 that you give will cost you @ lenght.
