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.

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.

No, he just needs to be RIGHT behind a horse, no daylight for him, not off a horse's flank, he needs to be right behind and then in the stretch find a hole, he could be inside too....

Surf Cat ran well but didn't get there. Hope all is still well in your world anyway.

A small field but BTN and Honey Ryder are no slouches. I'm just happy that we got to see him at a 5YO, does anyone honestly think if he were a dirt horse he'd still be around???

I agree with you, he ran what I thought was his best career race this way- last year in the Joe Hirsch.

That was a very weird race last year. They creeped the first 3/4 of that race, even though Luzzi was supposed to be on the "rabbit", and EC was 3 wide the whole way.

In all honesty, I didn't fear BTN today at all. It is rare that he fires back to back big races. He ran his race in the Manhattan.

The whole Icy as a rabbit thing didn't really work, because Icy is a fairly legitimate racehorse in his own right and he didn't seem to take too well to being used early. Shake the Bank had no problem doing that.
