Any one playing the haskell Saturday?

@goin4

I agree....Can't see JACK CHRISTOPHER losing.

If one is just looking for the action on the race or out with new time players who only care about cheering for their horse and hoping to cash then exactor 7 JACK CHRISTOPHER/6 WHITE ABARRIO/ 4 HOWLING TIME 

@bigred84

I'm a little suspect about Jack Christopher after the BC scratch last year.  My gut is that he remains a little iffy and that Chad is looking for the softest spots.  His last was good.  I prefer the Baffert horse here but making a low return place bet in case I'm wrong about Jack.  I can't see Baffert running out of the top 2 in a race he's dominated.  I could see a scenario where Jack doesn't fire.  Good luck today!

Why 

I didn't think the splits were that taxing despite having to break from the outside.  It appeared as if Jack was pretty relaxed down the backside.  It also appeared as if Jose thought he had horse.  Jack appeared to be trying but didn't fire when asked.  I didn't watch the entire card, the track could have been kinder to closers.   I just feel like Chad doesn't want to push Jack after the procedure.  The Churchill race was huge but, there was nothing in the Woody Stephens.  As a trainer I don't think I send a 100 percent sound horse like Jack or a horse with a question mark to Haskell unless he needs a race.  We'll see what happens with him and where Chad spots him next.

this was his first race ever around 2 turns.....He also previously never ran longer than a mile so the extra 1/8 looks like it hurt him
