Hi FB, glad you could make it...

I was doing some work on this race last night, and i noticed that Constance had worked head-up with Crosswater in her most recent drill. Crosswater was hammered down to 3/4 in her debut @ Belmont on July 6, and got blown off the track by the impressive 10-length winner Phantom Income. Prior to that, she appeared to have worked head-up on July 13 with The Roundhouse, who i believe ran third in the Sanford behind Ready's Image and Tale of Ekati.

The Pletcher thing is no hard-and-fast rule, just something that's noteworthy. I try to take every horse on a case-by-case basis.

The problem with Pletcher though is that you're unlikely to get value, even if the horse IS live...
