Yes. I know I tend to be more conservative with situations like that and don’t like having to guess on what the possible outcomes are. I’ve tailored the phrase more to my own strengths/weaknesses as a player. I should have noted that more clearly. Thanks for clearing that up for everyone!
Thanks for your analysis, Ryan. I do agree with you that there was not a track bias for the reasons you indicated. Horses coming off the pace won previous races. In Magnitude’s case, Asmussen had Curtis put him out on the lead, something they hadn’t done with him. East Avenue had a perfect stalking trip but couldn’t get the job done.

Totally agree with you! Think it further supports that East Avenue needs to be on the lead to win too.
Correct. He’s off my watch list. I was skeptical of him after the BC, though I had him on my tix.
