Just as soon as I posted I realized the answer. Fighting, the horse does not fare well. But, like you said, who is going to fight with him here? He
should get the
comfortable lead he needs to coast on home.
And, as usual, when I handicap too fast, I overlooked his third line back, which is a barn burner. However, that line was against a
very fast pace. Today's pace will be much slower.
My thinking is that if he doesn't get the lead in this race he's toast. He has to wire this race to win it--and it's very likely that he will.
