Default Wilko's Race
which of the two Baffert runners to take? The 5 with the flashy last out win, or the 7 with the two in a row nice breeding?

Any input?

I like that he runs as well, nothing against him.

I just had to laugh cause earlier in the week I heard a story that he was being pointed to Dubai. BTW had a funny reply asking if Dubai was now running claiming races. OUCH!

All in fun.

Yes, Andy is a regular Chris Rock around these parts.

Yeah, I know I was surprised the time I met him also. He looks like Sammy Davis Jr......except no glass eye.

I have no idea where they go next, he's only five and can still be useful in the appropriate spot. I do know that if he were my horse that I would point him towards longer distances 9 or 10 furlongs. One mile seems a bit too short for him.

At least they got him away from Hennig. He did a helluva job with him in Saratoga last summer.

You're right, the Hennig section of his PP's stand out as being particularly horrible.
