HTH, I would rather back MTB under an exaggerated waiting ride on an AW surface like Proride, (other than Fibresand, as today’s results showed yet again), than a front running effort. Polytrack isn’t best suited to front runners and Rachel, for one, will be there to be shot at.
MTB is made for Jamie Spencer, isn’t he.

As for the slop, MTB has shown he can run on three different surface textures in the last month and there is no reason to believe he won’t act in Santa Anita. We don’t know whether he
will
, granted, but we don’t know he won’t either and he has to go.
Is Presvis entered? MTB, Dunkirk, Rip Van Winkle, Sea The Stars, Quality Road, Rachel Alexander, and Presvis with two pacemakers. That would be worth paying mucho green to see.
Now you mention it MTB is indeed tailor made for Jamie. I doubt Wooley would even consider him though let alone know who he is

Presvis is entered for the BCC. I’m going over there this year. $40 for the day – thats a bargain for a card full of Group 1 races dont you think?
Dont forget Pioneer of the Nile who will improve for the return to Santa Anita and Master of the Horse who will also love to come late on the proride….oh….and the super-filly Zenyatta!
This years BCC will be fantastic

Incredible tipping Irish Stamp and well done to whoever backed him.
MTB probably got there a bit too soon but quite frankly, who cares!

It would have been a privilege to even post on the same page as that!
