Title: question for TGJB
Post by: Flighted Iron on May 02, 2008, 04:40:53 PM
Giving CJ the benefit of the doubt that he can handle the dirt do you think it\'s
reasonable to gear all his races 2 points forward?

As I said here a few days ago, I don\'t know how to answer that question. I do think the numbers are right, many are jumping forward on dirt. Not all.

The interesting question is whether the ones that have jumped forward will bounce.
Not just in the Derby.

I believe very firmly CJ will run a negative 1.I also believe he has enough
speed to miss most of the traffic.I anticipate him 7 lengths back maximum at any
point prior to the 5/16\'s pole.He\'s bred up and down for the classics and runs no
worse than second.Thanks for the timely response.
