The windows are a great place to express your opinion. Pace Advantage is probably the next best place. But you don't have to express the same opinion 42 times. We get it.
I'm of the belief that if Magnum Moon tried to keep up with Justify early he'd have been looking for a place to lay down in the stretch. The Arkansas Derby was a joke pace wise. And even with that he was running on about a 20 degree angle through the stretch. Good luck with him.

Fair enough about posting I don’t like Justify 42 times, but we really do have a difference of opinion on Magnum Moon getting fried if he tried to keep up with Justify. Baffert ducked Magnum Moon in Arkansas . He wanted no part of him. He opted for the much easier spot in the SA Derby.
