If Lawyer Ron goes I hope McKee doesn't attempt to strangle him back. That never works anyway. It's tough to get horses like Lawyer Ron to rate -- any trainer will tell you that to teach a horse to rate is one of the toughest things to do. Once the gate opens, the horse usually reverts to its natural running style.
The 14 horse field, the large crowd, and the commotion in general will add to the difficulty in getting some of the horses to rate.
I'm not convinced at this point that a quick pace is going to help the favorites in this race.
