Does he bounce off the big figure even with the additional rest? IMO, I think he does. That being said, I think there is a ton of value in tossing him from the top spot as the favorite. His secondary top just makes him another contender and under the circumstances he\'ll be facing, he\'s no cinch to even run run that.
Question for TGJB- did you consider making last year\'s bc dirt mile any slower? To my amateur eye, it seems like a possibility. GR comes in under similar circumstances as last year...off a top and an east-west ship. Obviously he has more time into it this year and he arrived in Cal earlier.
