are not....
ALL the animals in here 'up against it'
Historically, none of them ever has run 1 1-4 here and now...
Speed rules. Any horse w competitive speed is a contender, the distance
is always the wild card. There are so many of these beasts that wont
carry that speed. And the speed in the Ky Dby is ALWAYS greater than any other race. Curlin is an excellent speed horse but I dont believe he will just
draw off like in his prep races, it will be much more contested, with extra distance and traffic. Anyone else view it like this? Im not a big fan of 'historical
profiling' which is what I am seeing in a lot of these discussion groups---
I just look for hard prep races where the runners finish fast and close up and look like they want to keep running.....rather than runaway victories or high speed ratings.
