If Leave of Absence is a real horse, it's his day to prove it. He'll get an ideal set up here.

I always feel like speed holds up exceedingly well at GP.

The track is a lot of speed though and they will have to run to beat the 1,3.

I'd bet my brains on Gourmet Dinner if he went in the Hutcheson - and yet he has almost no chance in the Fountain of Youth.
There's basically only a single closer in the entire Hutcheson field - and it's Leave of Absence - who is adding blinkers. Black N Beauty might be able to adapt and take way back and come with one run - but it's anyones guess what Desormeaux will do.

Either that, or he'll make an early run for the lead. Oh, and he also won't ride him to the wire.

And I did look, but I let things digest before opinions. And those have sucked lately. I have done much much better just betting throughout the card and firing from the hip then having a plan and trying to execute it.

One opinion I have so far that if you are against To Honor and Serve off the layoff and strong possibility that he isn't 100%, Casper's Touch is very interesting to me. I was live for his last race and he galloped out strong after an impossible trip. While I consider Solis an anchor, he has been riding well this meet. Should get better fractions this time, and settle alot earlier 2nd off the shelf.
I just don't know how to feel about To Honor and Serve because those Payson works are super impressive if you go by the rule that the track is 2 second slow compared to a normal track.

I suppose it's possible he doesn't like the track but, he needs to step up here with this pace scenario.

There are 3 horses in the Hutcheson I'm a fan of but, looking at the pp's, I can't see any of them (or anyone) beating Manicero.
