Looks like a pretty solid field...but if he runs anywhere near where the rest of Pletcher's horses have been running then he should be fine.

He's running here instead of the Grade 1 turf race at GP on Sat???

They must really want to ease him into things...

He's been off for way to long to jump right into a Grade 1...he's got a long season ahead of him which should lead to the Million and another try at the Turf. Besides this race is much tougher than some Grade 1's.

Our girl is set to make her 07 debut in the Rampart at Gulfstream too....March 11th I believe.

The Grade 1 will be a joke and be easier than most allowances. Einstein and Dreadnaught? What's there to scare him off?

You know I saw that after I posted. Maybe they'll wait for the entries and scratch. It looks like the allowance may actually be tougher than the Grade 1.

I cant agree with that. I dont think this field is good at all. Maybe for a 57K allowance its good but Einstein and Dreadnaught are both far better horses than anything in this lineup (besides EC). EC wins this race at 75% of himself.

I will play Interpretation if he makes it to the starting gate. Hes due for some good luck and a win soon. Hopefully Tommy Turner makes the trip of 1-195 to ride him, always liked this kid, hard working guy like meself.

never saw the front end of a race he didn't like...He will send from the gate...no doubt about that.

English Channel is running in an allowance at GP on Thursday. Good opportunity to single him up in a pick 4 or 3.
