He does have a nice race over the Monmouth oval, but he'll need to deal with that outside post.

All in all, I guess he'll be the fav in a very interesting Haskell....
It would be very shocking to me if he was the favorite.

Granted, Super Saver and LAL do not have the fan base of Mine That Bird perhaps. But they are still Triple Crown champions and people that don't look at the PPs will choose them immediately.

Ho hum. Garcia took him 3 wide in the first turn. 3 wide in the far turn and he won by daylight. Got a neg 2 in the Preakness. He got a fig equivalent or better in this IMO.

When you pp you need to start looking at class and the NOW horse rarely (more like never) beats the dominate class and FASTER horse.
