Obviously the trainer is one of the best. I will try and youtube some of his races later.

What do folks think about Winchester? I just can't see it with all the other European options out there.

My second biggest play of the weekend. I know he beat nothing in the Secretariat, but his effort was VERY visually impressive and pretty fast. If he improves off of that he'll be tough. Of course, we have no idea how he's been doing since that race or how he'll like the hard turf at Santa Anita, but 15-1 (I expect he'll get bet down a litte) is way too high.

he'll probably be found out over a trip too far. I will be very reluctant to use him...

He fractured his pelvis; that's why he was off from October of last year. His comeback race was a good one, but the horses he beat weren't much. Mike de Kock, the trainer, was the best in South Africa and was a major force in Dubai, now in Britain. EM was second in the Derby last year, but was a distant 2rd, as was his third in the Irish Derby; I'm not certain he gets the full 12f. He certainly finishes closer to the front at 10f.

I think the course is a little faster today Idol, but yeah what a run by Goldikova, she just opened up in a blink of an eye.
