OK, moving on.

Looks like a terrific Man of War on Saturday...the one bright spot in an otherwise ho hum card.

TGJB/TGAB.... ROTW???



Good Luck,
Joe B.

Probably will be the Man O War. Woodward is tempting, just to be able to say \"Silly Wabbit, tricks are for kids\".

I think Better Talk Now is the play here.  He gets a pace to run at & a jock who saves ground on the lawn.  Don\'t think those 2 outside horses can run back to those numbers picking up 10 lbs.  Better Talk Now has done that before!

Bullman,

The figures you see for BTN and the outside horses are already adjusted for weight.  Since those three carry equal weight today, that means BTN is slower than King\'s Drama and only equal with the 9.  

The ground loss issue could be big, since BTN will be tucked in along the inside and there is some risk that the other two will be wide because of their starting slots.
