You have to admire the patience not to jam Ironicus into a G1 YET. Plenty of time to develop. Interesting spot for Vijack although not sure why just 7 on dirt isn't his best chance of success?

Seems like the Fourstardave would be the goal for him after this. Reload was pretty strong last time also and you would think that same race would be a goal for him.

Only thing I could think of, is that it gives the A list jocks time to fly to Churchill for the Foster card.

Poker is more like a Grade I than a Grade III.
