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.

I actually this GPK's dumbass horse is going to win the Million this year, barring any nut euro coming over

They tried a couple times last year...and the first time they tried it Luzzi insured blazing fast fractions of :51 and 1:16

I guess maybe he could be considered to have some "speed". He will most likely be the one on the front end anyways.

Yeah, I backed some Euro in that race thinking there would be some pace with the rabbit and instead he wound up losing to EC and a couple of girls.

Snipe...after watching all of EC's races about 500 times

, two things he doesnt like:

1. Racing on the lead
2. Racing covered up

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.
