I may be way off...but Luther sent WHY NOT NOW to TG for a reason.  He will be better than his morning line shows.  Horse was better than this field when he was on his game.

Pp 6 in a 10 horse field is far from ideal. This horse needs to save every inch of real estate to win (see last weeks race at the big m). We shall see what happens Friday night.

duh--look at winning post position from Mohawk the last 4-5 years, #6 by far has the highest winning %

your theory of saving ground and that post #6 isnt ideal is severely flawed and outdated

Thank you.

The only common entity is the 7/8 mile circumference. FYI, I believe Hoosier has a passing lane, Mohawk doesn’t. Big difference!!  FYI, which driving colony is better?  Another big difference!!
