I know at the windows I'm not going against him.

He was like 10 lengths the best, at least.

Didn't break, had to change tactics and won for fun. A very very nice horse right there.

What a horse... Wish we could have seen a head-to-head with AP, I think it would have been a classic dual down the stretch

From Blood-Horse
Pletcher said the decision to run Liam's Map in the Dirt Mile rather than the Classic (gr. I) was not easy since "you could make a case for either race. But talking to the owners, they seemed most comfortable with the mile. If the Classic had been a mile-and-an-eighth we would have gone that way but (not) at a mile-and-a-quarter a distance that he has never had an opportunity to run. We feel like he's a brilliant miler."
Obviously people spending that kinda money KNOW MORE than message board couch potato's
