IMHO - West Coast is a bet against @ Meydan.
Popular Opinion is that there is a distinct inside speed bias. From post 10 Nope
Sire is Flatter - Not enough stamina/endurance
Artificial Surface - Turf like not like SA hard pan.
Morning Line 4/5 - Based more on BBT celebrity than horses accomplishments on surface, distance, local.
Jockey - nothing wrong with can do no wrong St. Javier, who put Smith on the mare?
How else to get 4/5 - I think I can get better on MUBTAAHIJ or Gunnavera even Talismatic to show and if West Coast runs out well well.
Nearly Last - is not Gun Runner, California Chrome or Arrogate....yet
But - Bob Baffert has trained him to run all competition off their feet at 1+1/8 mi. I know he won the Travers @ a 1+1/4 by 3.5 lengths that was then and dirt if he duplicates he beats me.
I wonder what the tri will be if he wins?
