at best we're looking at a fast track with a good amount of moisture. at worst, a washout.
the "slip in behind Justify" plan looks nice in theory, but the slip in behind guys are going to take a lot of crap in the face. I don't think Tabor takes that risk, not with a colt who has yet to see a morsel of kickback.
I'm guessing they just take off with Mendy and hope he's that good.
