He finished behind Better Talk Now's rabbit last time out....albeit over a soft course.

If he runs back to his race 2 back, which came over the peculiar Fair Grounds turf course, he'll win easily.

It would be impossible to not use him in multi-win exotics---but, I'm still a little bitter that both he and BTN ran horrible in the Woodford Reserve...costing me both a P3 and a P4.

Einstein is toasted. Byk will argue with me that turf horses don't react like dirt horses but those two races he ran this year are SUPER huge for turf races, and now he comes back in 14 days, ludicious. if it is true that Bejarano jumped, that is all I need to know

Albarado was on him last time. I was going to ask about this horse, Steve's reply was to my original question. He had 7 weeks rest coming into the Derby Day race, certainly didn't do much running that day... so is he "toast" like you believe, or did he just not like the surface, or some other excuse 2 weeks ago?

Theres 6 or 7 horses running back 2 weeks after Derby weekend at Churchill. I think all of them are trained by Lukas or Pitts, except for Unbridled Sidney.

So it's not possible that he just hated the wet grass, and the connections are wheeling him back because he's still ready to run a big race on firm ground? It's automatically him being "run into the ground"? Talk about overreacting..

He's run well over the May 5th, 2007 Churchill Downs yielding turf before? Not all wet grass is the same dude.
