are you talking Morning line odds or post time odds? I can't remember.

Sounds like an argument for the sense of an argument. Neither was really comparable in that Brass Hat got hurt as Lawyer Ron was coming on the scene as a 3YO. Thus there was never really a comparison. By the time Brass Hat came back from a serious injury Lawyer Ron had at least established himself as competitive and Brass Hat was at best suspect due to his injuries, time off, and advancing age. Certainly Lawyer Ron was a likelier winner of the Whitney, their first meeting, whomever you liked in the race.

Aww Evening Attire to run once again. Got to love this horse. The race would be better if Funny Cide would come out of retirement and race in the Mass Cap. But I love any race that Evening Attire is in.

If Perfect Drift and Funny Cide were entered in this race hypothetically...and with Evening Attire and Brass Hat in..then you would swear this was 2004 and we've all somehow traveled back in time

Who would win...FC and PD always liked to finish 2nd or 3rd...Evening Attire 4th...I guess Brass Hat lol

The funny thing of course is that Evening Attire has run in this race before....and finished second......behind Macho Uno. That is how long this old guy has been running.
I think Funny Cide finished second in this race a few years ago too....but I can't remember who won that year.

Shouldn't we all be cheering for a Fairbanks blowout victory in a 110+ Beyer to draw a lot of money come BC Day on a horse we will all toss? And really it isn't that farfetched, the field sucks and the figure makers won't be afraid to give him a good figure if he wins big again against another field that sucks.
