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.

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

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.

After this and the JCGC incident w/ Chantel I think Pletcher needs to go back to Rabbit 101.

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

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