Does it seem odd to anyone else that Lewis Michael is traveling to CA for $500k, and Student Council is traveling to Chi-town for $500k? Though I guess Catalano wanted to stay on the tires, but why wouldn't Cerin???

A race like the Goodwood is a very tough one to handicap I think. So many of these horses are moving from the ridiculously slow Del Mar poly to the relatively unknown Santa Anita Cushion. One would presume that the new surface would play like the Hollywood Cushion, and that the form these West Coasters showed there would be the best thing to look at. But then I read where several people (including Victor Espinoza) have said that the Cushion at Santa Anita is significantly different than the surface at Hollywood.
Then you have a horse like Lewis Michael who - like most of these - is going from poly to cushion, but he is coming from the Arlington poly which is a lot different than the Del Mar poly. I know his trainer thinks Lewis Michael is the "best polytrack horse in the world" but how will that form transfer to the cushion? Also, Lewis Michael's big "G2" win in his last start came against absolutely nobody. Like I said, it seems like a tough one to me.

Man..I look for Lava Man to run huge in the Goodwin and if he wins this or runs good..I would say they send him to the BC Classic...where I think he has a legitimate chance to win...the Monmouth track should suit him just fine..you might get 10/15-1 on him..the East Coast bias should help his odds...he could be worth a ducat

If the track plays like it did today then A.P. Xcellent has a great chance to go gate to wire.

In last year's BC Classic, Lava Man's odds were about equal to Invasor. So what was this about a bias...

Tiago is proven on the east. I believe a 3rd vs. Rags and Curlin should beat this mediocore west coast group.....
Tiago fires a 100 beyer consistently enough and that should be good enough to win this.
