Up to 9F I think Holy Bull would have had his number each and every time..

At 10F Cigar would have had the advantage..

Are you saying Cigar is Spring House?

And Mike Mitchell's Church Service as well!

Not to mention he was a sneaky great 3rd in his prior start!

Whoops, I meant Spring at Last. Sorry, wrong horse! Wasnt he terrible on Wood Day?

You are confusing Spring House (who proved himself as perhaps the best American turf marathoner around when a sneaky 3rd by 6 lengths at Hollywood Park) with Spring At Last .. who tanked on Wood Day.

Thanks, and yes, I corrected my previous post. Tank would be a good word to describe that performance....hmmm, I wonder why

Because Jennifer Love Hewitt only bet $7,500 on him... and not her typical $15,000?

Nope, I was thinking of another reason!
