Four things I think after Haskell
1. Shackleford is one courageous SOB that gives it everything all the time. If I were the connections I would focus on the Mile where I think he can be a superstar.
2. Coil, Last to First at Monmouth Park pretty much says it all. Now all we need to see is another strong Dirt effort so we can dismiss yesterday as a First Time Syn to Dirt bump.
3. Ruler on Ice shows that Belmont wasn't a fluke and I think he is a strong contender going forward and a Travers win wouldn't be far fetched.
4. Until I am proven otherwise I am considering 3 year olds winning preps at the Fairgrounds over the winter auto tosses elsewhere.
