Remand should have no problem getting loose.

After getting screwed by slow paces in his last couple, they ought to cut back Arson Squad to extended sprints. Who knows, he might even show enough to warrant a try in the Carter.

Either that, or put him on the front end. Way back when, he won a 6f race at Santa Anita wire-to-wire in 1:09 flat, breezed halves in :45+ when Bruce Headley trained him, and beat champion sprinter Midnight Lute once. I'm sure he has enough speed left to better the :50+ halves he's encountered in his last pair.

Come to think of it, maybe JMS Stable should just retire him and put Rail Trip in these AQU handicap races instead. Where is he?
