Wicked Strong - CC has to be a little tired and WS has been waiting for him

For some reason I havenot bought in to the CC wagon, and seems like the Smarty Jones try redux.

Would like to be there but 140,000 is too much flesh to actually see the races

I am not picking him. I don't think CC is going to lose.

Just sayin, I like his odds/chances the best of the rest.

I think with the 2 hole CC has to go to the lead, and try and control pace/race, I really believe it will catch up to him in the stretch, and Wicked Strong will be flying late and win the race

I understood all that--I meant "picking him" as the top pick to upset CC (the question asked), not picking him as the most likely winner.

On the other hand, I very well may bet him since he is a nice price on this ML. If he stays anywhere near there, he will be on some tickets.

tough to bet against the tooz in the Super Bowl. Had a dream he was beating up Ellen last night. Not sure what this means, but she was no match, he give her a whompin.
