karl, thank you for the articles.
one of them brings up dilemma on Booklet: he's very rateable, has good disposition, several gears, does not like to be passed, etc. Are the last 2 Fla races ++ or --? Has he proven that he can go to the front if necessary, even though he had the bias and the front pretty much to himself- and, the close finish margins can be discounted because he conserves energy after passing someone and will re-rally when someone else gets close(he has done this in workouts and previous sprints)?
I would much rather have seen rating tactics in those 2 races(preps!) rather than going for the win, in preparation for the triple crown.
