Point well taken Bisket. I am just hoping that Fierceness with the tremendous figure he recently achieved gets way over bet and there exists some sort of decent value on Sierra Leone as a result. Sierra Leone has already shown that he isn't uncomfortable taking dirt. S.L. will be coming from well off the pace, but, damn if he doesn't possess that Big Ground Gobbling type of stride that simply eats up the ground at the later stages in the race. I believe that Fierceness will have to have an excellent setup and a tremendous amount of good fortune to run anywhere nearly as close to the huge Fig that he put up in the FL Derby. That is my hope anyway.
We will have to wait and see how it all pans out. It is going to be exciting!!
