Grasshopper in for a (BR)ass kicking?

\"We didn\'t know if his campaign would last this long,\" said Buff Bradley, who trains Brass Hat for his father, Fred. \"We know how fortunate we are. We\'d never go on if he wasn\'t 100 percent. I\'ve never had any pressure from my father, which helps out. His legs are as cold as they\'ve ever been, and he\'s as sharp as he\'s ever been.\"

I suppose this guy is telling the truth given the fact this horse has only started 22 times.\"old school\"!I like him to run Grasshopper down late in the lane.
Wouldn\'t surprise to see CQ get 2nd prize.

It\'s a good card there at the Fairgrounds, with some decent opportunities.

Regarding Circular Way, in his favor he ran the track well, though heres a horse that had difficulty finding his A Game with 3YO\'s. His sheet got spotty once he turned 3 and he tuned up for this by running unimpressively and now has to face older horses generally regarded as once and future Kings.

On the other hand Brass Hat was only beaten 3 lengths in the Donn and was moving best at the end and he\'s a longer morning line that Circular Way. For me at least, thats hard to believe and he\'s not even the horse that is piquing my interest.

I\'m sure you\'ll tell us after the race.
