Default Lawyer Ron- on the rail

Team Todd can't be too happy with that draw.

Alot of good horses got real bad draws. HystericalLady is starting from far outside, Grace Anatomy is way out there. I can't remember anymore at this moment

I believe Curlin is 4 and GW is 5.

worst draws were Excellent Art in the mile (ML fav that's now VERY vulnerable), Discreet Cat (rail), also many Juvys in 11-14 holes that were viable... but not with that post.

I think you guys are overrating the rail at Mth at a mile and a quarter. It's a LONG way from the 1 1/4 chute to the first turn, with only 9 in the field it isn't like the Derby where a crush of horses could create a nightmare trip.

Doesn't change my opinion of Lawyer Ron.

As head strong as he was last time...maybe Ron sends himself..

Makes it quite a bit more interesting for those that thought Curlin would carve out the easy fractions..
