Tennessee,

1. I am NOT always right.

2. Prizemoney for 2nd 3rd and even 4th is still worth chasing.

3. Many trainers enter horses over extra distance hoping their horses will prove to be middle distance contenders, testing under tough competition is the only real guide as trackwork form rarely holds up over extra distances.

4. I am not saying Bel Esprit is no chance, I just think that the odds will be far too short for the true odds of coming in 1st...especially with Oliver now taking the ride AND looking at the classy opposition in this race.

I will be betting a "boil over" here!
