Yes the trend of pursing up against soft competition continues as well as protecting the investment. Having said that I think Mike Maker made a good decision with Hansen. I do not expect Hansen to win the Bluegrass even though I believe he is more than capable. This is a perfect opportunity for a training race that may pay big dividends both for the purse and breeding potential. I would bet money that Ramon Dominguez will be instructed not to risk him if he is not in a good position, he certainly doesn't need the earnings and a respectable 3rd is what I am predicting although being a fan of the Great White Hope I would like to see him win decisively. Keep him in Kentucky, less stress and remember he won his maiden and Ky Cup Juvenile on the poly at Turfway. He has already worked at Churchill and is obviously comfortable there. I want to see the big White horse come out of the Bluegrass sound. If he places or shows at Keeneland maybe he will go off at a halfway decent price come the first Saturday in May. Go Big Whitey!
