For some of us it is entertaining to go through a fan friendly card like this gleening obtuse information. Had forgotten Saludos Amigos started out in SoCal as one who attended blistering paces.

For the trainer to scratch out of an AOC @ GP on 5/11 then ship up to MD for this race doesn\'t necessary mean he\'s high on the horse. But it is the first thought that comes to mind. Like you point out he\'s done a lot of running & improving recently. I am hoping the 4/1 mL holds up on Aquaphobia a horse shipping in from KEE off what I believe was a solid effort vs a couple of really good ones, Even though its name introduces superstition into the discussion

Regarding horses with a lot of white space. Ring Weekend @ 9/2 ML has run only once (and won) in about the same time frame. Given Motion\'s reputation it seems that one at the M/L will get a bet from me.

Race #9 a horse shipping in from Puerto Rico is nearly as crazy as a horse shipping in from Japan and doing well. As a side note; The expected favorite in this race Justin Squared crushed stable mate American Pride in April Whose stable mate American Freedom seems a weak favorite in the Sir Barton. The idea of backing a horse without data is radical. The collective intelligence of the board points out the presence of steam and owner history In any event it makes for good story telling. Sometimes just believing is enough i.e., Haru Urara
