I actually made big bets on both of them last time. I thought AT was much more impressive than LM. Jose rode them both last time and he liked AT better too. He could have ridden either one of them. Ron liked AT better too. LM handled the strecth-out a little better than AT. AT also got a tiny bit hot tonight before the race.

What's interesting about AT is that even though he's by Monarchos and he's a big long-striding horse who looks like he would have no problem stretching out, his dam actually never won going further than 6 furlongs. So AT may actually be better sprinting even though everything about him looks like a route horse.
