As far as Cacique, he has a shot but I think he'll be way overbet off the 2 bad trips. Hes no lock to get a good trip in here either (horses that get bad trips seem to find trouble), and even if he does get a good trip, hes no lock to run by them all. I think hes a horrible play tomorrow but I would include Cacique if I were using 3 horses in this leg of the pick 4. However I like Grey Swallow and Relaxed Gesture better and their odds will be much higher than their ML. Eng Channel and Cacique will both be around 9/5 or 2/1.
I think Grey Swallow gets pounded on. People have been yapping about this mule for years. English Channel ran his EYE BALLS OUT last time at Churchill, not going to take anything away from him, but Frankel's horse is the nuts here, regardless of trips or anything. Caciques sisters also loved the softer turf (if I remember correctly) so another positive in his corner.

Personally, I wouldn't be playing Cacique if PVal was on him, but Prado is perfect for this horse. absolutely PERFECT.
