"Petting Arrogate with an ankle bracelet on" is a bar that would make Action Bronson bend the knee to the P6K. I'm pretty much through all the replays I want to watch and I'm still a little up in the air on this race. Probably gonna come down to who looks like they're coming to their good race on the sheets. I do see a lot of intriguing price horses in the turf races, can't wait to hear the team's thoughts. - Brian
