He loves the surface as a three-time winner, he’s won 5 of 13 starts--with 5 exacta finishes--at the distance, has won from the pole position, blew out very sharply at his Calder base.
Further, he’s won with this kind of 4-weeks spacing and Rajiv Maragh rides him like he owns him. Gerald Procino doing fine work with this sprinter.
Taking Abdel’s Ghost to win at 8-5 or greater and key boxing him in multiples with classy turf-to-dirt Phillippe (4-1) and freshened Shrewd One (6-1).

Love your disclaimers. A good handicapper has to have a good repertoire of disclaimers.

I stand on my record, as always, that’s why we publish figures, but I’m just trying to be honest here T.
I’m on record as not believing the above theory because when a bounce does occur, no one knows how high.
Just hoping that Procino has this horse at tops again and his CRC work gives soe credence that might be true.

JP, just being cute as usual. Not much of a believe in the “bounce” theory myself; rather, that horses, after what is, or may seem to be, a heroic, or spectacular effort, in the next start, meet superior animals, and they are brought down to earth; different scenario, different outcome, etc., etc., etc.
