Interesting take on Grasshopper and his last effort.

Certainly there is no symbol for style points or adjustment in the figure, but there also isn\'t one for a horse who can quicken upon the push of the button and one who runs one paced. So that being said I still like his last race. He came right back to the three year old top and the TG Sire index mentioned of Dixie Union is from a very small sample and actually is faster (10) than any of the other 4YO Sire Indexes in the race except for Unbridled Song (9).

The price is going to be no good and Brass Hat does look strong.

Reporting for Duty ran most of the year last year like a big clown and while he has been beating up on lessor make not be as over the hill as some of these others appear to be making him usable.

Gasmussen is 24% over the last 90 days with 29% TOPS while Teflon Todd is 20% with 38% PAIRS.

This is a good race and will post more after looking at the DRF.

looking for ground saving runs in the \'0\' range from Grasshopper and SL. no reason why Brass Hat can\'t run a negative \'1\' or \'2\' (or better), but he\'s probably looking at a 2w or 3w trip. Magna could hit the \'0\' lvl again, probably with a 2w/2w trip. CQ might be the one. probably needs to cut back to 7f or a mile to pop the huge fig, but he has the negative \'1\' going 1 1/16 at FG, and the Derby and Preakness figs weren\'t bad. gets in light, and probably gets a 1w/2w type trip while trailing the small field. 7-2 fair.

CQ the key, Brass Hat the other use.

CQ has the negative 1 over the track, while the \'hopper couldn\'t match his Travers top in two tries. 6-1 vs 4/5?

You picked Key Mr D but the last one for CQ was just too ugly for my liking.

I was playing Pick 5\'s and you had to use Grasshopper.

I only used Brass Hat on a saver ticket.

Which is also in the trash can now.
