My guess is Chelokee will not run, however if he does run I believe Matz believes he has a shot at winning. Matz wasn't just Barbaro's trainer, he is an excellent trainer, who tends to know when the spot is right for the horse. Don't forget he won a BC race last year. He has accomplished a lot in very little time as a trainer. I love SS, but he has lost before. SS was superior at 2 and has run some amazing races, especially at CD; but he is beatable. No one really knows how good Chelokee is until he actually runs against the top tier horses. I would just like to see it happen.
